Lyrics:C.Porter Music:C.Porter | |
I've a beau, his name is Jim, | |
He loves me and I love him, | |
But he tells me I'm too prim, | |
That means I'm too slow. | |
I let him rant, I let him rave, | |
I let him muss my permanent wave, | |
But when he says 'Let's misbehave,' | |
My reply is 'No!' | |
It's not 'cause I wouldn't, | |
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, | |
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't, | |
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town. | |
My poor heart is achin' | |
To bring home the bacon, | |
And if I'm 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 money to burn, | |
Ev'ry proposition I turn down, | |
'Way down, | |
It's not 'cause I wouldn't | |
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, | |
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't, | |
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. | |
Nothing ever worries me, | |
Nothing ever hurries me. | |
I take pleasure leisurely | |
Even when I kiss. | |
But when I kiss they want some more, | |
And wanting more becomes a bore, | |
It isn't worth the fighting for, | |
So I tell them this: | |
It's not 'cause I wouldn't, | |
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, | |
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't, | |
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town. | |
My poor heart is achin' | |
To bring home the bacon, | |
And if I'm 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 money to burn, | |
Ev'ry proposition I turn down, | |
'Way down, | |
It's not 'cause I wouldn't | |
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, | |
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't, | |
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. |
