rodgers and hart – the lady is a tramp lyrics

Loading...

(verse)
i’ve wined and dined on mulligan stew
and never wished for turkey
as i hitched and hiked and drifted, 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

(chorus)
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 cr-p games with barons and earls
won’t go to harlem in ermine and pearls
don’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
hate california, it’s cold and it’s damp
that’s why the lady is a tramp

(chorus 2)
i go to coney, the beach is divine
i go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
i follow winch-ll and read every line
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i like a prizefight that isn’t a fake
i like 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 gr-ss 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

(chorus 3)
don’t know the reason for c-cktails 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?
hi-ho!
i love laguardia and think he’s a champ
that’s why the lady is a tramp

(chorus 4)
girls get m-ssages, 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?
for robert taylor i whistle and stamp
that’s why the lady is a tramp
