[00:06.11] | Ive wined and dined on mulligan stew, and never wished for turkey |
[00:11.48] | As I hitched and hiked and grifted too, from maine to albuquerque |
[00:17.42] | Alas, I missed the beaux arts ball, and what is twice as sad |
[00:26.62] | I was never at a party where they honored noel ca-ad (coward) |
[00:35.54] | But social circles spin too fast for me |
[00:41.09] | My hobohemia is the place to be |
[00:49.78] | I get too hungry, for dinner at eight |
[00:55.21] | I like the theater, but never come late |
[01:00.82] | I never bother, with people I hate |
[01:06.60] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[01:12.73] | I dont like crap games, with barons and earls |
[01:18.09] | Wont go to harlem, in ermine and pearls |
[01:24.29] | Wont dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls |
[01:29.65] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[01:34.08] | I like the free, fresh wind in her hair |
[01:41.42] | Life without care |
[01:44.43] | Im broke, its ok |
[01:47.55] | Hate california, its cold and its damp |
[01:53.41] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[01:59.34] | I go to coney, the beach is devine |
[02:05.14] | I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine |
[02:11.07] | I find a winchell, and read every line |
[02:16.78] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[02:21.76] | |
[02:23.01] | I like a prizefight, that isnt a fake |
[02:28.62] | I love the rowing, on central park lake |
[02:34.56] | I go to opera and stay wide awake |
[02:40.35] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[02:44.95] | I like the green grass under my shoes |
[02:52.29] | What can I lose, Im flat, thats that |
[02:58.50] | Im alone when I lower my lamp |
[03:04.50] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |

[03:18.06] | Girls get massages, they cry and they moan |

[03:18.43] | Im not so hot, but my shape is my own |
[03:18.68] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[03:18.87] | The food at the kopensky is perfect, no doubt |
[03:19.06] | I couldnt tell you wha the ritz is about |
[03:19.32] | Drop a nickle in, and coffee comes out |
[03:19.50] | Thats why the lady is a tramp |
[03:19.68] | Like the sweet, fresh, rain in my face |
[03:19.88] | Diamonds and lace, no got, so what? ! |
