Cabaret Soundtrack - "So What?" lyrics

FRULEIN SCHNEIDER: You say fifty marks, I say one hundred marks. As long as the room's to let Why should that stand in our way' A difference of fifty Marks The fifty that I will get When you're as old as I- Is fifty more than I had yesterday, aha! Is anyone old as I' What difference does it make' An offer comes, you take! For the sun will rise and the moon will set, It'll all go on if we're here or not, So, who cares, so what' And you'll learn how to settle for what you get, When I was a girl my summers were spent by the sea, so what' So, who cares, so what' Now I scrub up the floors, and I wash down the walls, And I had a maid doing all the house work, not me, so what' 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' And you'll learn how to settle for what you get, For the sun will rise and the moon will set 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 only the memory lives on, so what' And now all my fortune is gone, so what' And love disappeared, And I've lived through all that, If I've lived through all that, Fifty Marks doesn't mean a lot! And I like that you're here If I liked that you're here, For the sun will rise and the moon will set Happy New Year, my dear, so what! It'll all go on if we're here or not, And you'll learn how to settle for what you get, So, who cares, so what' So, who cares, so what' It all goes on, So, who cares' Who cares' So what'
