The Lady Is A Tramp
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves the theater, but she never comes late
I never bother, with people that I hate
That's why this chick is a tramp
She doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermines and pearls
And I definitely won't dish out dirt, with the rest of those girls (Thank-you)
I love the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care, oh I'm so broke, it's old
I hate California, it's crowded and damp
That's why the lady is a tramp (I am a tramp)
Sometimes I go to Coney Island, oh the beach is divine
And I love the Yankees, Jeeter's just fine
I follow Rogers and Heart, she sings every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
I love a prizefight, that isn't a fake (no fakes)
I love to row boat with you and your wife on Central Park lake
She goes to Opera and stays wide awake (yes, I do)
That's why this lady is a tramp
She likes the green (green) grass (grass) under her shoes
What can I lose, 'cause I got no dough (oh no?)
I'm all alone when I lower my lamp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Go!
I love your free fresh, I love your handkerchief in my hair
Life without care, but I am so broke, that's oak
Hates California it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
That's why this lady is a tramp
That's why the lady is a tramp
The song 'The Lady Is a Tramp' by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga is a classic tune that celebrates nonconformity and individuality. The opening lines reveal the lady's preference for an early dinner, implying her impatience, and her love for theatre but punctuality. She refuses to associate with people she dislikes, and that's why she is a tramp, meaning she's unconventional.
The lady dislikes games played by the wealthy and refuses to be dragged down to their level despite their wealth. She hates California's crowded and damp weather conditions and instead indulges in outdoor activities.
The lady loves the green grass under her feet, but she hasn't got enough money to do the things she loves. Regardless of her financial constraints, she remains undaunted in her pursuit of happiness, adhering to her belief that being true to oneself is better than conforming to societal norms.
The song has a rich history, dating back to 1937, when it was composed by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. The song was first featured in the Broadway musical 'Babes in Arms.' Many artists have covered the song, including Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.

Bennett crossed the Rhine in 1945 with the American Army and fought his way into Germany, then entertained soldiers after the war ended, and he's still singing - well! - in 2015. Now THAT'S a career!

+valinor100 And having lived the war he became a pacifist...Plus the civil rights. A true man in the whole meaning of the word.
