The Laziest Gail In Town - Marlene Dietrich

It’s not 'cause I shouldn’t

It’s not 'cause I couldn’t

And you know

That 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 bacon

And if I find myself

Alone and I’m 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

Every little proposition

I turn it down

'Way down

It’s not 'cause I wouldn’t

It’s not 'cause I shouldn’t

And, you know

That it’s not 'cause

I couldn’t

It’s simply because

I’m the laziest gal in town
