Laziest Gal in Town

(Cole Porter - 1950)

It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And you know full well 
It's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.

My poor heart is achin'
To bring home some bacon
And if I find myself alone and forsaken,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.

Although I'm always willing to learn
How these gals get so much extra money to burn
Every little proposition, I just turn it down
Way down

It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
Don’t you know by now 
It's not 'cause I couldn't?
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
