I DON'T CARE (Sutton / Lenox)
(Harry O Sutton (m) Jeran Lenox (l) 1905)

as recorded by Eydie Gorme
with orchestra conducted by Don Costa
1958


They say I'm crazy, got no sense,
But I don't care!
They may or may not mean offence,
But I don't care!
You see, I'm sort of independant,
Of a clever race descendant,
My star is on the ascendant,
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,
Men say I am plucky,
So jolly and carefree!

I don't care, 
I don't care 
If I do get the mean and stony stare.
If I'm never successful
It won't be distressful,
'Cause I don't care!

They say my hair's a silly style
But I don't care!
They xxxx? amuse me all the while
'Cause I don't care!
You see, my hair with me's a fixture,
And its colour's not a mixture!
When they call me "living fixture",
Surely I don't care!
I'll try to outlive it,
I know I'll forgive it
And live contentedly!

'Cause I don't care,
I don't care
If people do not try to treat me fair.
So let down the gangway,
Here comes Eydie Gorme,
'Cause I, I I don't care!
