The Lady Is A Tramp

The Lady Is A Tramp
Frank Sinatra - Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr Lyrics


I've wined and dined on Mulligan stew
Never wished for turkey
As I hitched and hiked and a-drifted, too
From Maine to Albuquerque
Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts Ball
What is twice as sad
I was never at a party
Where they honored Noel Ca'ad
But her social circles spin too fast for me
Her Hobohemia is the place I wanna be

She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She loves the theater but never comes late
She'll never bother with someone she hates
That's why the lady is a tramp

She goes to Coney, the beach is divine
She digs the ball games and the bleachers are fine
She reads Kilgallen and I mean every line
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the green grass under my shoes
So what can I lose?
I'm flat, that's that
And for Ray Charles, she whistles and stamps
That's why the lady is a tramp

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

One more time
Why the lady
I'm hip, that crazy lady
Why the lady is a tramp

Since I'm European. I've got to admit...honestly : America did provide the world with the best singers (ever).

@jackspry9736

RIP Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998), aged 82
And
RIP Ella Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996), aged 79
You both will be remembered as legends.

Who could hold a candle to Ella...one of the few celebrities ..I asked for an autograph I was a star struck room service busboy. She snarled a little bit me her autograph. I gave the autograph to a man who was a dancer who reminded me of Fred Astaire ..... The Legendary Ella......

@daking589

Ella is sheer perfection. Every vocal choice she makes is always a stunning surprise.

@rosie8126

Ella was and still is the Queen of Jazz. The quality of sound, the pearls given to the mere mortals is a joy to behold that will last a lifetime. Glorious.

@ElizabethOpondo

“Ella Fitzgerald is the only performer with whom I’ve ever worked who made me nervous. Because I try to work up to what she does. You know, try to pull myself up to that height, because I believe she is the greatest popular singer in the world, barring none—male or female.” —Frank Sinatra

That's why she was such a tramp for him.
