She gets hungry for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre but never comes late
She never bothers with anyone she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem dressed in ermines and pearls
Will not dish the dirt with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free cool wind in her hair
Life without a care
She's broke but it's oke
Doesn't like California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

She gets far too hungry to wait there for dinner at eight
She adores the theatre however doesn't get there late
She'd never bother with someone she'd hate
That is why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games with barons or earls
Never makes a trip up to Harlem darlin' in ermines and pearls
She won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free fresh lovely wind in her hair
Life without a care
She's broke but it's oke
No way California, it's so cold and it's damp
That's why the lady
That is why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp
