She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She likes the theater 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
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's *"oke"*
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 theater 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 *"oke"*
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
She likes the theater 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
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's *"oke"*
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 theater 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 *"oke"*
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

great song, meanings been nailed already. just a great shot at how shallow and bitchy some women can be.
and this song is what the narrator is sarcastically saying back to those bitchy women
"Hates California, it's cold and it's damp"
i'm guessing this woman is from new york. i would of thought California would be warmer and have better weather than NY.
contrarian she thinks sunny CA is cold and damp. But my mother thinks it's talking about San Francisco. I think in the context of the rest of the lyrics I'm right.
