Jari Sillanpaa - Lady Is A Tramp lyrics

rate me

(Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart)

I’ve wined and dined on Mulligan Stew

and never wished for Turkey.

I’ve hitched and hiked and drifted 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.

My social circles move too fast for me.

My Hobohemia is the place to be.

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight.

She likes the theater, but never comes late.

She’d never bother with people she’d hate,

that’s why the lady is a tramp.

She won’t like crap games with Barons and Earls,

won’t go to Harlem in ermine or pearls.

Won’t dish the dirt with the rest of those girls,

that’s why the lady is a tramp.

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair,

life without care.

She’s broke, but it’s oke,

hates California, it’s cold and it’s damp,

that’s why the lady is a tramp.

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair,

life without care.

She’s broke, but it’s oke,

hates California, it’s cold and it’s damp,

that’s why the lady is a tramp.

And I love it.

Yes, she’s a tramp.

And I love it.

And I wish that she would come my way.

I wish that she would come my way.

I wish that she would come in my way.

Yes, she’s a lady, but a tramp.
