[Verse 1]
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She goes to the theatre but never comes late
She doesn't bother, no, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
She doesn't play crap games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of them girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

[Chorus]
She loves the free fresh wind in her hair
She doesn't care
She's broke, and that's oke
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

[Outro]
She loves the free fresh wind in her hair
She doesn't care
She's broke, but that's oke
She hates California, it's cold and damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
That's why the lady is a tramp

[Spoken]
Thank you!
