The Lady Is A Tramp

歌詞

I've wined and dined on Mulligan Stew and never wished for Turkey As I hitched and hiked and grifted too from Maine to Albuquerque Alas I missed the Beaux Arts Ball and what is twice as sad I was never at a party where they honored Noel Coward But social circles spin too fast for me My hobohemia is the place to be I get too hungry for dinner at eight I like the theater but never come late I never bother with people I hate That's why the lady is a tramp I don't like crap games with barons and earls Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls That's why the lady is a tramp I like the free fresh wind in her hair Life without care I'm broke it's o'k Hate California it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp I go to Coney the beach is divine I go to ballgames the bleachers are fine I follow Winchell and read every line That's why the lady is a tramp I like a prizefight that isn't a fake I love the rowing on Central Park lake I go to Opera and stay wide awake That's why the lady is a tramp I like the green grass under my shoes What can I lose I'm flat that's that I'm alone when I lower my lamp That's why the lady is a tramp
