Tramp! 
 What you call me? 
 Tramp 
 You didn't! 
 You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats 
 Well I tell you one dog-gone thing It makes me feel good to know one thing I know I'm a lover 
 Matter of opinion 
 That's all right, Mama was Papa too And I'm the only child Lovin' is all I know to do 
 You know what, Otis? 
 What? 
 You're country 
 That's all right 
 You straight from the Georgia woods 
 That's good 
 You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp 
 Haircut? Woman, you foolin'oohI'm a lover Mama was Grandmama, Papa too Boogaloo All that stuff And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun Tramp! 
 You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp 
 What? 
 That's right You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents 
 I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang, ooooooohhhI'm a lover Mama was Papa too I tell you one thing 
 Well tell me 
 I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun 
 You're a tramp, Otis 
 No I'm not 
 I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp 
 What's wrong with that? 
 Look here You ain't got no money 
 I got everything 
 You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want 
 I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, anything you want, Woman 
 Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby 
 Oh, you foolin' 
 You're still a tramp 
 That's all right 
 You a tramp, Otis You just a tramp 
 That's all right 
 You we
