Lyrics The Laziest Girl in Town - Marlene Dietrich

The Laziest Girl in Town

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
