She gets too hungry for dinner at eight

She likes the theatre and never comes late

She never bothers with people she hates

That's why the lady is a tramp Doesn't like crapgames with barons or 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 She likes the free fresh wind in her hair,

Life without care

She's broke and it's ok

Hates California, it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady is a tramp She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight

She loves the theatre, but never comes late

She'd never bother with people she'd hate

That's why the lady is a tramp She'll have no crapgames with sharpies and frogs

And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords

And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads

That's why the lady is a tramp She loves the free fresh wind in her hair

Life without care

She's broke but it's ok

Hates California, it's so cold and so damp

That's why the lady. that's why the lady

That's why the lady is a tramp
