(It's not 'cause she wouldn't
It's not 'cause she shouldn't
And you know it's not 'cause she couldn't
It's simply because)

I'm the laziest gal in town
Nothing ever worries me
No one 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 you know it's not 'cause I couldn't
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 proposition I turn
Down
Way down
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn'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 alone am 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 proposition I turn
Down
Way down

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