Lady is a Tramp Lyrics

[PUCK]
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She adores the theatre and won't arrive late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp!

Doesn'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!

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, it's oke!
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp!

[MERCEDES]
Oh...
I get far too hungry to eat dinner at eight
I adore the theatre, but I never come late
Puck:
You'd never bother with anyone that you'd hate
Both:
That's why the lady is a tramp!
[MERCEDES & (PUCK)]
I like the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care (She's a swinger, a humdinger)
Hate California, too cold and too damp
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady-y-y... (Oh...)
That is why the lady is a tramp! (That is why the lady is a tramp!)
Tramp, yeah
