Lyrics: Soundtrack Artists. I Don't Care.

Lyrics: various
Premiere: 1949

They say I'm crazy
Got no sense
But I don't care
They may or may not mean offense
But I don't care
You see, I'm sort of independent
I am my own superintendent
And my star is on the ascendent
That's why I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
What they may think of me
I'm happy-go-lucky, they say that I'm plucky
Content and carefree
I don't care
Don't care if I do get a mean and stony stare
If I'm not successful it won't be distressful
Cause I don't care
A girl should know her etiquette
Alas, alack

Propriety demands we walk a narrow track
When fellas used to blink at me
I'd freeze 'em and they'd shrink at me
But now when fellas wink at me
I wink at them right back!
I don't care
I don't care if people frown on me
Perhaps it's the lone way
But I go my own way
That's my philosophy
I don't care
I don't care if he's clerk or just a millionaire
There's no doubt about it, I'll sing and I'll shout it
Cause I don't care
Oh, I don't care, I don't care
When it comes to happiness, I want my share
Don't try to rearrange me
There's nothing can change me 'cause I don't care.
