This song is a cover. The original has lyrics, and is from the musical "Babes in Arms." The first half of the first verse, as an example, is:

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theater but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp.

The song is a jazz standard, and while you can probably find a recording of the music from the musical, you will most likely be happier with a recording of a famous jazz artist (vocal or instrumental) performing the song. This song entered Their repertoire about the same time as many similar songs that were never released by Them. For a while, They would regularly perform many Frank Sinatra songs in the style they also used for this tune.
