Cabaret: So What?

Cabaret: So What? - Lotte Lenya

Lyricist：Fred Ebb

Composer：John Kander

Producer：Goddard Lieberson

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 rooms do let

The fifty that I will get

Is fifty more that I had yesterday ja

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 learn how to settle for what you get

It will 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 housework not me

So what

Now I scrub all the floors

And I wash down the walls

And I empty the 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 learn how to settle for what you get

It will 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 dumpy and fat

So what

Through all of our years

He was so disappointed in that

So what

Now I have what he missed

And my figure is trim

But he lies in a churchyard plot

If it wasn't to be

That he ever would see

The uncorseted me

So what

For the sun will rise

And the moon will set

And you learn how to settle for what you get

It will 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 like 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 learn how to settle for what you get

It will 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
