That's why, that's why the lady That's why that's why the lady That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp Tramp Hm, ooh She gets too hungry for, dinner at eight, now Hates the theatre but, never comes late She never bothers, with the people she hates That's why, that's why the lady is tramp Don't go to crap games, with the barons and earls Won't go to Harlem, in ermines and pearls She won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp She loves the free, fresh, wind, in her hair Life without care She's broke, and that's ok Hates California, it's so smuggy and damp That's why the lady is a tramp, now She gets massages, she cries and she moans Tells Slenderella just to leave her alone She's not so hot, but her shape is her own That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp The food at Sardees is great no doubt But she doesn't know what, motels all about She puts in a dime, and some ice comes out That's why the lady is a tramp She loves the free fresh wind in her face Diamonds and lace No God, so what For Rod Steiger she whistles and stamps That's why the lady is a tramp, now She don't know the reason for, cocktails at five She don't like flyin' baby, but I'm glad I'm alive I crave affection baby but not when I drive That's why the lady is a tramp, now She flew down to London and left me behind I missed the crowning but, I didn't mind She won't play Scarlet and Gone with the Wind (It's got to rhyme) That's why the lady is a tramp, now I like to hang her hat, wherever I please And fly, with a breeze And no dough, hi ho She thinks that Marciano was still a great big champ That's why the lady is a tramp, now She goes down to Coney and she thinks the beach is divine She goes to the ball games and thinks the Yankees are fine Why she reads Walter Winchell and understands every line That's why the lady is a tramp, now She likes do to go rowing down Central Park Lake She digs a price fight, that isn't fake Why she even goes to the opera, and stays wide awake That's why the lady is a tramp, now I like the green grass, under my shoes Now what can I lose She's flat, and that's that She's all alone when I lower my lamp That's why the lady, that's why the lady That's why the lady is a tramp
