The Lady Is a Tramp |
| 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 Ca' ad |
| 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 crapgames 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 my hair |
| Life without care |
| I’m broke, it’s oke |
| Hates California is cold and is damp |
| That’s why the lady is a tramp |
| I go to Coney-the beach is divine |
| I go to ball games-the bleachers are fine |
| I follow Winchell and read ev’ry 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 all alone when I lower my lamp |
| That’s why the lady is a tramp |
| Don’t know the reason for cocktails at five |
| I don’t like flying-I'm glad I’m alive |
| I crave affection, but not when I drive |
| That’s why the lady is a tramp |
| Folks go to London and leave me behind |
| I’ll miss the crowning, Queen Mary won’t mind |
| I don’t play Scarlett in Gone With the Wind- |
| That' s why the lady is a tramp |
| I like to hang my hat where I please |
| Sail with the breeze |
| No dough-heigh-ho! |
| I love La Guardia and think he’s a champ |
| That' s why the lady is a tramp |
| Girls get massages, they cry and they moan |
| Tell Lizzie Arden to leave me alone |
| I’m not so hot, but my shape is my own |
| That’s why the lady is a tramp! |
| The food at Sardi’s is perfect, no doubt |
| I wouldn’t know what the Ritz is about |
| I drop a nickel and coffee comes out |
| That’s why the lady is a tramp! |
| I like the sweet, fresh rain in my face |
| Diamonds and lace |
| No got-so what? |
