The Laziest Gal In Town

Gal Costa

Compositor: Cole Porter

It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, you know
That is 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

Though I'm more
Than willing to learn
How these gals
Get money to burn
Every little proposition
I turn it down
'Way down

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