teddy lynch - the lady is a tramp lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
i like the green grass under my shoes
what can i lose?
i’m flat, that’s that
hate california, it’s cold and it’s damp
that’s why the lady is a tramp

[bridge]
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 bad
i was never at a party where they honored noel c’ad
but social circles spin too fast for me
my hobohemia is the place to be
[verse 3]
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

[verse 4]
folks go to london and leave me behind
i’ll miss the crowning, queen mary won’t mind
i won’t play scarlett in gone with the wind
that’s why the lady is a tramp

[chorus]
i like to hang my hat where i please
sail with the breeze
no dough, hi+ho
i’m all alone when i lower my lamp
that’s why the lady is a tramp

[outro]
i still like roosevelt and think he’s a champ
that’s why the lady is a tramp
