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.
