その淑女ふしだらにつき

Ive 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

Ive never been to a party where they honored Noel Ca-ad (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
Thats why the lady is a tramp

I dont like crap games, with barons and earls
Wont go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Wont dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
Thats why the lady is a tramp

I like the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
Im broke, its ok
Hate California, its cold and its damp
Thats why the lady is a tramp

Girls get massages, they cry and they moan
Tell slender Ella to leave me alone
Im not so hot, but my shape is my own
Thats why the lady is a tramp

The food at the Kopensky is perfect, no doubt
I couldnt tell you wha the Ritz is about
Drop a nickle in, and coffee comes out
Thats why the lady is a tramp

Like the sweet, fresh, rain in my face
Diamonds and lace, no got, so what?!
For Frank Sinatra, I whistle and stamp
Thats why the lady is a tramp

Shes a hobo
Shes a scamp
Shes a no-good kinda tramp
Thats why the lady is a tramp
