The Lady Is a Tramp

The Lady Is A Tramp is a show tune from the 1937 musical Babes in Arms, written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. The song was later rerecorded by Sinatra along with Luther Vandross for his 1993 album, Duets.

Lyrics
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight She likes the theatre, and never comes late She never bothers, with people she'd hate That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons or 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

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair Life without care She's broke, but it oak Hates California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp

She gets too hungry, to wait for dinner at eight She loves the theatre, but never comes late She'd never bother, with people she'd hate That's why the lady is a tramp

She'll have no crap games, with sharpies and frauds And she won't go to Harlem, in Lincoln's and Ford's And she won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the broads That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh, wind in her hair Life without care She's broke, but it oak Hates California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp That's why the lady is a tramp That's why the lady is a tramp
