Laziest Gal In Town Lyrics

Nina Simone Laziest Gal In Town

It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't
And, you know darn 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 some 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 little proposition I just turn it down
Way down, yeah

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, the laziest gal in town
