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
Edit
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
