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 I was never at 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 I go to coney, the beach is devine I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine I find a winchell, and read every line Thats why the lady is a tramp
I like a prizefight, that isnt a fake I love the rowing, on central park lake I go to opera and stay wide awake Thats why the lady is a tramp I like the green grass under my shoes What can I lose, Im flat, thats that Im alone when I lower my lamp Thats why the lady is a tramp
Transcribed by todd peach A few additional verses from the ella in berlin cd: 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
