The Lady Is A Tramp Lyrics - Mack The Knife: Ella In Berlin - Ella Fitzgerald

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 crap 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 oke 

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 Winchell 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 grass under my shoes 

What can I lose, I'm flat, that's that 

I'm alone when I lower my lamp 

That's why the lady is a tramp
