Tramp!

Allright baby you can call me that

My papa was

'Cause I never dug working

From morning 'till night

And my money didn't seem to ever come out right

No no

Papa was a tramp

But he was a lover too

So why can't I

Do like papa do

Like papa do

Like papa do now

'Cause I'm his son

Why can't I be like my daddy

Low down and nasty

Allright if you want to call me that go ahead

I guess papa was too

Just 'cause he don't take

Nobody's mess
