Nina Simone
The Laziest Gal in Town
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, you know though well, 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 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 so much extra money to burn
Every little proposition I just turn it down
'Way down
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, honey
And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't
It's simply because I'm the laziest, laziest gal in town
