| 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 okay
|
| 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 |
