Lyrics[]
Puck:
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She adores the theater and won't arrive late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care, she's broke, it's OK
She hates California, it's cold, and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Whoa, oh
Mercedes:
Ooh
I get far too hungry for dinner at eight
I adore the theater, but I never come late
Puck (Mercedes):
You'd never bother with anyone that you hate (Oh, doh, doh, doh, doh)
Mercedes and Puck:
That's why the lady is a tramp
Mercedes:
I like the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
Puck:
She's a swinger, a humdinger
Mercedes (with Puck):
Hate California
(Too cold and too damp)
Mercedes (Puck):
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady (Ooh)
That is why the lady (That is why the lady)
Is a tramp (Is a tramp)
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Puck:
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She adores the theater and won't arrive late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
Santana:
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care, she's broke, it's OK
Puck (and Santana):
She hates California, it's cold, and it's damp
(That's why the lady) is a tramp
Whoa, oh
Mercedes:
Ooh
I get far too hungry for dinner at eight
I adore the theater, but I never come late
Santana (Mercedes):
Oh, I'd never bother with people I hate, yeah (Oh, doh, doh, doh)
Mercedes and Puck:
That's why the lady is a tramp
Mercedes and Santana:
I like the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
Puck:
She's a swinger, a humdinger

Hate California
(Too cold and too damp) (Santana: Too cold and too damp)
Mercedes (Puck and Santana):
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady (That's why the lady)
That's why the lady (Santana: Oooh, yeah)
That is why the lady (Puck: That is why the lady) (Santana: That is why the lady)
