"The Lady Is a Tramp" is a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms in which it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green. This song is a spoof of New York high society and its strict etiquette (the first line of the verse is significant: "I get too hungry for dinner at eight..."). It has become a popular standard.
Early recordings from 1937 include one by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, (featuring Edythe Wright on vocals), Midge Williams and Her Jazz Jesters, Sophie Tucker, and Bernie Cummins on the Vocalion records label (#3714).
Lena Horne recorded the song with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio Orchestra on March 30, 1948. Her performance appeared in the film, Words and Music, a fictionalized biography of the partnership of Rodgers and Hart.
It was recorded by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald in 1950s and Shirley Bassey in the 1960s, becoming a signature song for each of them. Sinatra also sang it in the film Pal Joey.
In later years, as heard on the first Duets album, Sinatra would often alter the title lyric to "...That's why this chick is a champ.". Fitzgerald would in turn alter the lyrics to praise Sinatra or Sidney Poitier "...and for Frank Sinatra I whistle and stamp!". She and Sinatra sang the song as a duet on the 1967 television special A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim.
Sammy Davis, Jr. made it a staple song in his live routines. Less conventional interpretations include versions by Alice Cooper, Yes, Tokyo Jihen, and They Might Be Giants.
The Supremes recorded the song on their Rodgers and Hart tribute album titled The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart. The group also recorded a version live at the prestigious Copacabana Night Club in New York in 1967.
Sinatra recorded a version of the song in 1968 as a favor to The Beatles. Sammy Cahn wrote new lyrics to the song as a birthday gift to Ringo Starr's wife, Maureen. His recording was pressed as a single as Apple 1. Only one copy was made, and the tape and masters were destroyed. Since there is only one copy, and since Sinatra and the Beatles were both involved, this may be among the most valuable records in the world.[1] The recording has not been bootlegged.[2]
Tokyo Jihen, a famous Japanese band, covered this song on their debut single, Gunjō Biyori.[3]
Madonna and Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers performed the song live at The Arsenio Hall Show's 1000th episode.
Lily Allen sang this song with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra on his annual New Years TV programme, Jools Hollands Hootenanny.
Lisa Hannigan performed this song at the Dublin Fringe Festival.[citation needed]
Kerry Ellis performed this song at the Henley festival on July 10, 2009 which was later aired on BBC Radio 2 as part of Friday Night is Music Night on August 28, 2009
The television show Glee featured a cover of this song by two of the main characters, Noah "Puck" Puckerman and Mercedes Jones, in the episode "Laryngitis". Puck references it as Sammy Davis Jr's biggest hit song. It was also performed on the spinoff "The Glee Project", by contestants Matheus and Damian.
The television series The Playboy Club's third episode features a cover of this song by Laura Benanti's character.

A The Lady Is a Tramp Lorenz Hart dalszövegíró dala, melyet 1937-ben írt a Babes in Arms musicalhoz. A szám az évek során a pop klasszikusainak egyikévé lett. Számtalanul dolgozták fel vagy adták elő, mint például Ringo Starr és Lady Gaga.
A dalt a Richard Rogers és Lorenz Hart alakította Rodgers and Hart produkciós társulat írta a Babes in Arms musicalhez, s a gyermeksztár Mitzi Green előadásában vált igazán ismertté.
Lena Horne a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio Orchestra stúdióban vette fel saját verzióját 1948-ban. Ez volt az első feldolgozása a dalnak. Frank Sinatra és Ella Fitzgerald az ötvesen években dolgozta fel a dalt, Shirley Bassey a hatvanas években énekelte el. Tokyo Jihen a híres japán együttes feldolgozása a Gunjyo Biyori kislemezre került fel 2004-ben. Ez volt az együttes első hivatalos kislemeze. Lily Allen, angol énekesnő a Rhythm and Blues Orchestra keretiben énekelte el a dalt, de kislemezként nem adta ki. A The Playboy Club-ban ez a dal volt Laura Benanti "karakter-dala"
A dalt 2011-ben Lady Gaga is elénekelte Tony Bennet Duets II lemezén. A dal a Japán Hot 100-as listán a 33. helyig jutott. A dal lett Bennet lemezének fődala. Klipp is készült hozzá.
A dal nem csak zenészeket, hanem filmrendezőket is megihletett, ezért 1955-ben megjelent a "Lady and the Tramp" (Suzi és tekergő) címmel a Walt Disney kiadásában a mára kultikussá vált rajzfilm is.
