ella fitzgerald - the lady is a tramp lyrics

Loading...

i’ve 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
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
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
won’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 her hair
life without care, i’m broke, it’s okay
hate california, it’s cold and it’s damp
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i go to cony, the beach is divine
i go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
i find a winch-ll, and read every line
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i like a prizefight, that isn’t a fake
i love 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
