So What Lyrics - Singles - Cabaret

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER] 

You say fifty marks. I say one hundred marks, a 

[spoken in rythm] 

difference of fifty marks- 

Why should that stand in our way? 

As long as the room gets let, 

the fifty that I will get 

is fifty more than 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 rise 

And the moon will set 

And 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 of the house-work, 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 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 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, 

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 rise 

And the moon will set 

And 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?
