The Lady Is a Tramp Songtext
von Tony Bennett

She gets too hungry for dinner at 8
(I′m starving)
She loves the theater but she never comes late
I never bother with people that I hate

That's why this chick is a tramp
She doesn′t like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
And I definitely won't dish our dirt with the rest of those girls

That′s why the lady is a tramp
I love the free fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
Oh, I′m so broke,
It's OK


I hate California. It′s crowded and damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I′m a tramp!
Sometimes I go to Coney Island
Oh, the beach is divine
I love the Yankees
Jeter is just fine
I follow Rogers and Hart
She sings every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
I love the prize fight
That isn′t a fake
No fakes
And I love to rowboat with you and your wife in Central Park Lake
She goes to the opera and stays wide awake
Yes I do
That's why this lady is a tramp
She likes the green (green) grass (grass) under her shoes
What can I lose? 'cause I got no dough (Oh no?)
I′m all alone when I lower my lamp
That′s why the lady is a tramp
Go
I love your free, fresh, I love your handkerchief in my hair
Life without care
But I'm so broke!
That′s OK!
Hates California, it's cold and it′s damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
That′s why this lady is a tramp!
That's why the lady is a tramp ...
