I've a beau, his name is Jim
He loves me and I love him
But he tells me I'm too prim
That means I'm too slow
I let him rant, I let him rave
I let him muss my permanent wave
But when he says "Let's misbehave,"
My reply is "No!"

It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town
My poor heart is achin'
To bring home the bacon
And if I'm 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
Ev'ry proposition I turn down
'Way down
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, Lord knows, 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 wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town
My poor heart is achin'
To bring home the bacon
And if I'm 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
Ev'ry proposition I turn down
'Way down
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town
