The Lady Is A Tramp
Stig Rossen and his Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She likes the theatre and never comes late
She never bothers with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's ok
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre but never comes late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'll have no crap games with sharpies and frauds
And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords
And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'd love the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's ok
Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady
That's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp
The lyrics to Stig Rossen and his Orchestra's "The Lady Is A Tramp" describe a woman who is unconventional and independent. She has her own standards and values and doesn't conform to society's expectations of how a woman should act. She enjoys the theater and being out late but doesn't like spending time with people she doesn't respect. She doesn't play games with wealthy and powerful people and doesn't gossip like other women. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and live a carefree life even if she is not wealthy. The woman dislikes California's weather, which she finds too cold and damp. In short, the lady is a nonconformist who lives life on her own terms.
The song's lyrics were written by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers for the 1937 musical "Babes in Arms". During the show, it was sung by the characters Valentine "Val" LaMar and Marshall Blackstone. The song has been performed by numerous artists over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett. It has become a beloved standard in the American songbook and has been used in several movies, TV shows, and commercials.
