Oh Lady Be Good - Pearl Bailey

Who cares

If the sky cares to fall

In the sea?

Who cares

What banks fell in Yonkers

As 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

Let it rain and thunder

Let a million firms go under

I am not concerned with

Stocks and bonds that I’ve been burned with

I love you and you love me

And that’s how it will always me

And nothing else

Could ever mean a thing

Who cares what the public chatters?

Love’s the only thing that matters

Who cares how history rates me

As long as your kiss intoxicates me

Why should I care

Life is one long jubilee

As long as I care for you

And you care for me
