Rendezvous With Marlene

The Laziest Gal In Town

Record Details

Artist
Ute Lemper
Release
2020
Genre
Jazz, Pop, Broadway

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

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

Sure I’m more more than willing to learn
How all these gals get money to burn
Every proposition I turn 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

Nothing ever worries me, nothing ever hurries me
I take pleasure leisurely
even when I kiss
and 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 you know that it’s not ’cause I couldn’t
It’s simply because I’m the laziest…
The laziest gal in town

I’m just lazy!
