So What? Lyrics by Karen Ziemba

Prince of Broadway (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2018

[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, spoken]
You say fifty marks. I say one hundred marks
Ze difference of fifty marks
Why should that stand in our way?
As long as the room's to 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
(sung)
For the sun will rise und the moon will set
Und you 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?
Und I had a maid doing all of the housework, not me
So what?
Now I scrub up the floors und I wash down the walls
Und I empty the chamber pot
If it ended that way, then it ended that way
Und I shrug und I say
"So what?"
For the sun will rise und the moon will set
Und you 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 und fat
So what?
Through all of our years he was so disappointed in that
So what?
Now I have what he missed und my figure is trim
Und 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 und the moon will set
Und you 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 und now all my fortune is gone
So what?
Und love disappeared und only the memory lives on
So what?
If I've lived through all that
(Und I've lived through all that)
Fifty marks doesn't mean a lot
If I like that you're here
(Und I like that you're here)
Happy New Year, my dear
So what?
For the sun will rise und the moon will set
Und you 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?
(spoken)
So what?
