As performed by PEGGY LEE in the 1955 film "Lady & The Tramp":
 

What a dog!
(Yeah, tell us about it, Peg)
What a dog!
(Peg used to be in the Dog and Ponies Follies)

He's a tramp, but they love him
Breaks a new heart ev'ry day
He's a tramp, they adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him
Yes, even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothing more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way

Breaks a new heart ev'ry day
He's a tramp, I adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him

I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothin' more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way

(Instrumental Break)

He's a tramp, I adore him
And I wish that I could travel his way

(Instrumental Break)

He's a tramp, buut I love him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothin' more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way
