Cole Porter — The Laziest Gal in Town

(Verse) I got a guy, his name is Jim He loves me and I love him But when he says I'm too prim Why, here's what I say to him: I let him rant, I let him rave I let him muss my permanent wave But when he says, "Come on, let's misbehave," My answer is "No." (Chorus) It's not 'cause I wouldn't It's not 'cause I shouldn't The good Lord knows 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 some girls 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 The good Lord it's not 'cause I couldn't It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town
