The Laziest Gal in Town Lyrics
The Laziest Gal in Town - Marlene Dietrich
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
And you know 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 I'm alone and forsaken
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town
Thought I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get money to burn
Every proposition I turn down
Way down
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
And you know it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town
Nothing ever worries me
Nothing ever hurries me
I take pleasure leisurely
Even when I kiss
But when I kiss they want some more
And wanting more becomes a bore
It isn't worth the fighting for
So I tell them this
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
And Lord knows it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest
The laziest gal in town
