[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
[03:13.36]

[03:17.81] A few additional verses from the ella in berlin cd:
[03:18.06] Girls get massages, they cry and they moan
[03:18.25] Tell slender ella to leave me alone
[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? !
[03:20.05] For frank sinatra, I whistle and stamp
[03:20.25] Thats why the lady is a tramp
[03:20.44] Shes a hobo
