Frank Sinatra & Ella Fitzgerald performing The Lady Is A Tramp from the 1967 Sinatra Tv Special Frank Sinatra - A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim
[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald]
I've wined and dined on Mulligan Stew
And never wished for Turkey
As I hitched and hiked and drifted too
From Maine to Albuquerque
Alas, I missed the 'Beaux-Arts Ball'
And what is twice as sad
I've never been to a party where
They honoured Noel Coward
Social circles move too fast for me
My hobohemia is the place to be
[Verse 2: Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald]
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games with barons and earls
I won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
She won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I love the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care, I'm broke, that so
I 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 root for the dodgers, the bleachers are fine
Still follow Winchell, and she read every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like a prizefight if it isn't the fake
I love the rowing, on Central Park lake
She goes to the opera but she doesn't stay awake
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the green grass under her shoes
What can I lose, I'm flat, that's that
I'm alone when I lower my lamp
That's why the lady, she is a tramp
[Verse 3: Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald]
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
She adores the theatre but she doesn't get there late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why (x5)
That's why she is a tramp
I don't like crap games with barons and earls
She'll never go to Harlem dressed in ermine and pearls
I won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why this chick is a tramp
I like a free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care, She's broke, that so
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a (x2)
That's why the lady is a tramp
[Outro: Frank Sinatra & Ella Fitzgerald]
She likes the green grass under her shoes
What can I lose, She's flat, that's that
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady (x2)
That is why the lady is a tramp
