The Lady Is a Tramp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Lady Is a Tramp" is a popular song by Rodgers and Hart.
It was written for the Broadway musical Babes In Arms in 1937. This song is a sophisticated and witty spoof of New York high society and its strict etiquette (the first line is really significant: "I get too hungry for dinner at eight...").
It was also recorded and released in 1937 by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, featuring Edythe Wright on vocals.[1] In addition, it was recorded and released in 1937 by Midge Williams and Her Jazz Jesters.
It was famously covered by Frank Sinatra in 1940s and Ella Fitzgerald in 1950s, becoming one of their signature songs. Less conventional interpretations include versions by Alice Cooper, Yes and They Might Be Giants.
