Cole Porter
The Laziest Girl
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
And you know damn well that it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply because I'm the laziest girl in town
My poor heart is aching
To bring home some bacon
And if I find myself alone and forsaken
It's simply because I'm the laziest girl in town
I'm more than willing to learn
How these girls get so much extra money to burn
But every little proposition I get, I just turn down
Way down
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
And you know damn well high that it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply because I'm the laziest girl
The laziest girl in town
