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...
This sleepy version of Cole Porter's long-ago tune is getting new life on soft jazz stations and Sirius.
Especially love the verses....
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
'Tho I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get money to burn
Every little proposition I turn down
Way down
Marlene Dietrich introduced it,
Nina Simone gave it new life.
Gal Costa sings here.
