The Lady Is A Tramp

The Lady Is A Tramp - Lena Horne

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 crap 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 that's okay

Hate California it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady is a tramp

Now I go to Coney the beach is divine

I go to ballgames the bleachers are fine

I take a Winchell and read every line

That's why the lady is a tramp

I love a prizefight that isn't a fake

I dove 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 grass under my shoes

What can I lose I'm flat that's that

I'm all alone when I turn out my lamp

That's why the lady is

That's why the lady is

That's why the lady is a tramp
