Song lyrics
[Tony Bennett:]
She gets too hungry for dinner at 8
[Lady Gaga:]
(I'm starving)
[Tony Bennett:]
She loves the theater but she never comes late
[Lady Gaga:]
I never bother with people that I hate
That's why this chick is a tramp
[Tony Bennett:]
She doesn't like crap games with barons and earls
[Lady Gaga:]
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
And I definitely won't dish our dirt with the rest of those girls
[Tony Bennett:]
(Thank you)
That's why the lady is a tramp
[Lady Gaga:]
I love the free fresh wind in my hair
[Tony Bennett:]
Life without care
[Lady Gaga:]
Oh, I'm so broke
[Tony Bennett:]
It's oke
[Lady Gaga:]
I hate California. It's crowded and damp
[Tony Bennett:]
That's why the lady is a tramp
[Lady Gaga:]
I'm a tramp!
Sometimes I go to Coney Island
[Tony Bennett:]
Oh, the beach is divine
[Lady Gaga:]
I love the Yankees
[Tony Bennett:]
Jeter is just fine
[Lady Gaga:]
I follow Rogers and Hart
[Tony Bennett:]
She sings every line
[BOTH:]
That's why the lady is a tramp
[Lady Gaga:]
I love the prize fight
[Tony Bennett:]
That isn't a fake
[Lady Gaga:]
No fakes
And I love to rowboat with you and your wife in Central Park Lake
[Tony Bennett:]
She goes to the opera and stays wide awake
[Lady Gaga:]
Yes I do
That's why this lady is a tramp
[Tony Bennett:]
She likes the green (green) grass (grass) under her shoes
[Lady Gaga:]
What can I lose? 'Cause I got no dough (Oh no?)
I'm all alone when I lower my lamp
[Tony Bennett:]
That's why the lady is a tramp
Go
[Lady Gaga:]
I love your free, fresh, I love your handkerchief in my hair
[Tony Bennett:]
Life without care
[Lady Gaga:]
(Polka-dot)
But I'm so broke!
[Tony Bennett:]
That's oke!
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
[Both:]
That's why the lady is a tramp
That's why this lady is a tramp!
[Lady Gaga:]
That's why the lady is a tramp
