The Lady is a Tramp

The Lady is a Tramp - Gloria DeHaven

I've wined and dined on Mulligan stew

And never wished for turkey

I've 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

When they honored Noel Ca-ad

But social circles spin too fast for me

My hobohemia that's the place to be

I get too hungry for dinner at eight

I love 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 crap 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 want the cool fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

I'm broke that's okey

Hate California it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady is a tramp

I want the cool fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

If I'm broke that's okey

For Elle Fisher I whistle and stamp

That's why the lady is

You know the lady is

I said the lady is a tramp
