He's A Tramp
Oliver Wallace/Sonny Burke/Peggy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a dog
He's a tramp, but I love him
Breaks a new heart every day
He's a tramp, they adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him
Yes, even I have got it pretty bad
You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double
He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothing more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way
The song "He's A Tramp" is from the Disney film Lady and the Tramp. The lyrics describe the main character of the film, a stray dog named Tramp, who is known for his wild ways and carefree nature.

The first verse establishes Tramp's character as a dog who constantly breaks hearts but is loved nonetheless. The second verse details his less-than-ideal personality traits, including being a scoundrel and a cad. The chorus reinforces the singer's love for Tramp while acknowledging his faults.
The bridge of the song highlights Tramp's unpredictable nature and tendency to cause trouble, but also expresses the singer's desire to join him on his adventures. The final chorus reiterates the singer's wish to travel with Tramp.
Overall, the song portrays Tramp as a charismatic and lovable but flawed character who embodies the spirit of living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest.
