lady is a tramp - john pizzarelli lyrics

Loading...

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 theater but never come late
i never bother with people i hate
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i don’t like cr-p games with barons and 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, it’s o’k
hate california, it’s cold and it’s damp
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i go to coney, the beach is divine
i go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
i follow winch-ll and read every line
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i like a prizefight that isn’t a fake
i love the rowing on central park lake
i go to opera and stay wide awake
that’s why the lady is a tramp

i like the green gr-ss 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, that’s why the lady
that’s why the lady is a tramp
