It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
|
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
|
And, you know though 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 the bacon,
|
And if I find myself alone and forsaken,
|
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
|
|
Though I'm more than 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, honey,
|
And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't,
|
It's simply because I'm the laziest, laziest gal in town.
