Lyrics

So What

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Spoken:

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 gets let

The fifty that I will get

Is fifty more that I had yesterday

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?
