Lyrics

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 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 gal in town
