Lady Is a Tramp, The |
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 |
