[REPORTERS]
We don't want to know about the moratorium
Or how near we are to beer
Or about the League of Nations
Or the seventeen vacations
You have had since you've been here
Here's the one thing that the people of America
Are beside themselves to know
They would like to know what's doing
On the lady who is suing
You, Diana Devereaux
Everybody wants to know
What about Miss Devereaux?
From the highest to the low
What about Miss Devereaux?
[WINTERGREEN]
It's a pleasant day
That's all I can say
[MARY]
Here's the one thing we'll announce:
Love's the only thing that counts
[REPORTERS]
People want to know
What of Devereaux?
[WINTERGREEN]
When the one you love is near
Nothing else can interfere
[MARY AND REPORTERS]
When the one you love is near
Nothing else can interfere
[WINTERGREEN]
Here's some information
I will gladly give the nation
I am for the true love
Here's the only girl I do love
[MARY]
I love him and he loves me
And that's how it will always be
So what care we about Miss Devereaux?
[WINTERGREEN AND MARY]
Who cares what the public chatters?
Love's the only thing that matters!
Who cares
If the sky
Cares to fall
In the sea?
Who cares what banks fail in Yonkers?
Long as you've got a kiss that conquers
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee
So long as I care for you
And you care for me
[ALL]
Who cares
If the sky
Cares to fall
In the sea?
Who cares what banks fail in Yonkers?
Long as you've got a kiss that conquers
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee
So long as I care for you
And you care for me
Who Cares? was written by Ira Gershwin & George Gershwin.
