[00:00.00]The Lady Is A Tramp - Ella Fitzgerald
[00:05.70]I've wined and dined on mulligan stew 
[00:08.11]
[00:08.68]And never wished for turkey 
[00:10.38]
[00:11.39]As I hitched and hiked and grifted too 
[00:13.50]
[00:14.46]From maine to albuquerque 
[00:15.83]
[00:17.14]Alas  I missed the beaux arts ball 
[00:20.88]
[00:21.81]And what is twice as sad 
[00:23.58]
[00:26.13]I was never at a party where they honored
[00:30.36]
[00:31.39]Noel ca-ad 
[00:32.86]
[00:34.60]But social circles spin too fast for me 
[00:37.73]
[00:40.63]My hobohemia is the place to be 
[00:45.79]
[00:49.29]I get too hungry  for dinner at eight 
[00:52.40]
[00:54.72]I like the theater  but never come late 
[00:58.29]
[01:00.43]I never bother  with people I hate 
[01:04.43]
[01:06.02]That's why the lady is a tramp 
[01:08.40]
[01:11.91]I don't like crap games  with barons and earls 
[01:15.47]
[01:17.60]Won't go to harlem  in ermine and pearls 
[01:21.33]
[01:23.27]Won't dish the dirt  with the rest of the girls 
[01:27.05]
[01:28.91]That's why the lady is a tramp 
[01:31.45]
[01:33.51]I like the free  fresh wind in my hair 
[01:39.10]
[01:40.68]Life without care
[01:41.95]
[01:43.47]I'm broke  it's ok
[01:45.87]
[01:46.80]Hate california  it's cold and it's damp 
[01:51.14]
[01:52.47]That's why the lady is a tramp
[01:54.92]
[01:58.50]I go to coney  the beach is devine 
[02:02.30]
[02:04.27]I go to ballgames  the bleachers are fine 
[02:08.38]
[02:10.05]I find a winchell  and read every line 
[02:14.48]
[02:15.81]That's why the lady is a tramp
[02:19.03]
[02:21.79]I like a prizefight  that isn't a fake 
[02:25.39]
[02:27.60]I love the rowing  on central park lake 
[02:31.48]
[02:33.42]I go to opera and stay wide awake 
[02:37.28]
[02:39.09]That's why the lady is a tramp
[02:42.87]
[02:43.74]I like the green grass under my shoes 
[02:49.56]
[02:51.04]What can I lose  I'm flat  that's that 
[02:55.97]
[02:57.24]I'm alone when I lower my lamp
[03:01.60]
[03:02.93]That's why the lady is a tramp
