Lyrics for The Lady Is A Tramp

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 dice games with barons and earls Won't go slumming with 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 my hair Life without care I'm broke, that's ok I hate California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp I like a prizefight that isn't a fake That's why the lady is a tramp 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 all alone when I lower my lamp That's why the lady is That's why they call the lady That's why the lady is A trump
