Cabaret - So What?

Cabaret - So What - Lotte Lenya

You say fifty marks

I say one hundred marks

A difference of fifty marks

Why should that stand in our way

As long as the room's to let

The fifty that I will get

Is fifty more than I had yesterday aha

When you're as old as I

Is anyone as old as I

What difference does it make

An offer comes you take

For the sun will rise and the moon will set

And you'll learn how to settle for what you get

It'll all go on if we're here or not

So who cares so what

So who cares so what

When I was a girl

My summers were spent by

The sea

So what

And I had a maid doing

All the house work

Not me

So what

Now I scrub up the floors

And I wash down

The walls

And I empty that chamber pot

If it ended that way

Then it ended that way

And I shrug and I say so what

For the sun will rise

And the moon will set

And you'll learn

How to settle for what you get

It'll all go on if we're here or not

So who cares so what

So who cares so what

When I had a man

My figure was stampede and fat

So what

Through all of our years

We were so disappointed than that

So what

Now I have what he missed then my figure is

Trim

But he lies in a churchyard lot

If it wasn't to be that he ever would see

The abundance of me so what

For the sun will rise and the moon will set

And you'll learn how to settle for what you get

It'll all go on if we're here or not

So who cares so what

So who cares so what

So once I was rich

And now all my fortune is gone so what

And love disappeared

And only the memory lives on so what

If I've lived through all that

And I've lived through all that

Fifty marks doesn't mean a lot

If I liked that you're here

And I like that you're here

Happy new year my dear so what

For the sun will rise and the moon will set

And you'll learn how to settle for what you get

It'll all go on if we're here or not

So who cares so what

So who cares so what

It all goes on

So who cares

Who cares

Who cares

So what
