The Lady Is A Tramp (From 'Babes In Arms') - The King'S Singers I've wined and dined on Mulligan stew And never wished for turkey As I hitched and hiked and grifted too From Maine to Albuquerque Alas I missed the Beaux Arts Ball And what is twice as sad I was never at a party Where they honored Noel Ca' ad But social circles spin too fast for me My Hobohemia is the place to be I get too hungry for dinner at eight I like the theatre and never come late I never bother with people I hate That's why the lady is a tramp I don't like crapgames with barons or earls Won't go to Harlem in 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 and it's ok Hates California it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp I love the free fresh wind in my hair Life without care I'm broke but it's ok Hates California it's so cold and so damp That's why the lady is a tramp And I love it Yes I 'm a tramp and I love it And I wish that you're coming my way I wish that you're coming my way I wish that you're coming my way Yes I'm a lady by a tramp
