The Lady Is a Tramp Lyrics
[00:00.90] That's why, that's why the lady,
[00:01.87] That's why that's why the lady,
[00:03.63] That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp.
[00:05.40] Tramp.
[00:09.17] Hm, oooh.
[00:13.65] She gets too hungry for, dinner at 8, now.
[00:17.22] Hates the theatre but, never comes late.
[00:20.90] She never bothers, with the people she hates,
[00:24.55] That's why, that's why the lady is tramp.
[00:28.11] Don't go to crap games, with the barons and earls
[00:31.77] Won't go to harlem, in ermines and pearls.
[00:36.21] She won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls,
[00:39.97] That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp.
[00:43.58] She loves the free, fresh, wind, in her hair,
[00:47.19] Life without care.
[00:48.97] She's broke! And that's ok.
[00:51.70] Hates california, it's so smuggy and damp,
[00:54.53] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[00:58.21] She gets massages, she cries and she moans,
[01:02.71] Tells Slenderella just to leave her alone.
[01:06.48] She's not so hot. But her shape is her own,
[01:10.90] That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp.
[01:15.45] The food at Sardees is great no doubt,
[01:18.15] But she doesn't know what, motels all about,
[01:20.95] She puts in a dime, and some ice comes out.
[01:26.35] That's why the lady is a tramp!
[01:29.98] She loves the free fresh wind in her face,
[01:34.52] Diamonds and lace.
[01:36.32] No God, so what?!
[01:38.13] For Rod Steiger she whistles and stamps,
[01:41.78] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[01:45.43] She don't know the reason for, cocktails at five.
[01:49.90] She don't like flyin baby, but I'm glad I'm alive.
[01:54.52] I crave affection baby but not when i drive,
[01:58.13] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[02:01.78] She flew down to London and left me behind,
[02:06.27] I missed the crowning but, I didn't mind.
[02:09.86] She won't play Scarlet and Gone with the Wind
[02:12.59] (It's got to rhyme)
[02:14.43] Thats' why the lady is a tramp, now!
[02:17.18] I like to hang her hat, wherever I please,
[02:20.76] And fly, with a breeze,
[02:22.55] And no dough, hi ho!
[02:25.33] She thinks that Marciano was still a great big champ,
[02:29.95] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[02:34.45] She goes down to Coney and she thinks the beach is divine,
[02:37.10] She goes to the ball games and thinks the Yankees are fine,
[02:40.76] Why she reads Walter Winchell and understands every line,
[02:48.07] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[02:48.91] She likes do to go rowing down Central Park Lake,
[02:52.58] She digs a price fight, that isn't fake
[02:57.15] Why she even goes to the opera, and stays wide awake.
[03:00.81] That's why the lady is a tramp, now!
[03:04.43] I like the green grass, under my shoes,
[03:08.01] Now what can I lose?
[03:10.87] She's flat. And that's that.
[03:14.49] She's all alone when I lower my lamp,
[03:17.19] That's why the lady, that's why the lady,
[03:19.99] That's why the lady is a tramp.
[03:24.52]
[00:01.87] That's why that's why the lady,
[00:03.63] That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp.
[00:05.40] Tramp.
