Lyrics

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, 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 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?
