So What Lyrics by Cabaret

So What

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]You say fifty marks. I say one hundred marks, a[spoken in rhythm]difference of fifty marks-Why should that stand in our way?As long as the room gets let,the fifty that I will getis 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.[sings]For the sun will riseAnd the moon will setAnd learn how to settleFor what you get.It will all go on if we're here or notSo 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 maidDoing all of the house-work, not me.So what?Now I scrub all the floorsAnd I wash down the wallsAnd 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 riseAnd the moon will setAnd learn how to settleFor what you get.It will all go on if we're here or notSo 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 yearsHe was so disappointed in that.So what?Now I have what he missedAnd my figure is trim,But he lies in a churchyard plotIf it wasn't to beThat he ever would seeThe uncorseted me,So what?For the sun will riseAnd the moon will setAnd learn how to settleFor what you get.It will all go on if we're here or notSo who cares? So what?So who cares? So what?So once I was richAnd now all my fortune is gone,So what?And love disappearedAnd only the memory lives on,And 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 riseAnd the moon will setAnd learn how to settleFor what you get.It will all go on if we're here or notSo who cares? So what?So who cares? So what?It all goes on.So who cares? Who cares?Who cares? So what?
