The lady is a tramp Lyricsby Ella Fitzgerald Buy album CD: Best Of Song Book Sessions I've wined and dined on mulligan stew, and never wished for turkey As i hitched and hiked and grifted 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 (coward) But social circles spin too fast for me My "hobohemia" is the place to be I get too hungry, for dinner at eight I like the theater, but never come late I never bother, with people i hate That's why the lady is a tramp I don't like crap games, with barons and 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 I like the free, fresh wind in her hair Life without care I'm broke, it's o'k Hate california, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp I go to coney, the beach is devine I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine I find a winchell, and read every line That's why the lady is a tramp I like a prizefight, that isn't a fake I love the rowing, on central park lake I go to opera and stay wide awake That's why the lady is a tramp I like the green grass under my shoes What can i lose, i'm flat, that's that I'm alone when i lower my lamp That's why the lady is a tramp Transcribed by todd peach ######################## A few additional verses from the "ella in berlin" cd: Girls get massages, they cry and they moan Tell slender ella to leave me alone I'm not so hot, but my shape is my own That's why the lady is a tramp The food at the kopensky is perfect, no doubt I couldn't tell you wha the ritz is about Drop a nickle in, and coffee comes out That's why the lady is a tramp Like the sweet, fresh, rain in my face Diamonds and lace, no got, so what?! For frank sinatra, i whistle and stamp That's why the lady is a tramp She's a hobo She's a scamp She's a no-good kinda tramp That's why the lady is a tramp
