So What? Lyrics by Mary Louise Wilson

Cabaret (New Broadway Cast Recording)

1998

[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, 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'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 old as I?
What difference does it make?
An offer comes, you take. 
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And 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?
And I had a maid doing all of the housework, not me
So what?
Now I scrub up 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 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 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 of me
So what?
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And 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 and now all my fortune is gone
So what?
And love disappeared and only the memory lives on
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
And so what?
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And 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?
So what?
