<br>

They say I'm crazy <br>

Got no sense <br>

But I don't care <br>

They may or may not mean offense <br>

But I don't care <br>

You see, I'm sort of independent <br>

I am my own superintendent <br>

And my star is on the ascendent <br>

That's why I don't care <br>

I don't care, I don't care <br>

What they may think of me <br>

I'm happy-go-lucky, they say that I'm plucky <br>

Content and carefree <br>

I don't care <br>

Don't care if I do get a mean and stony stare <br>

If I'm not successful it won't be distressful <br>

Cause I don't care <br>

A girl should know her etiquette <br>

Alas, alack <br>

Propriety demands we walk a narrow track <br>

When fellas used to blink at me <br>

I'd freeze 'em and they'd shrink at me <br>

But now when fellas wink at me <br>

I wink at them right back! <br>

I don't care <br>

I don't care if people frown on me <br>

Perhaps it's the lone way <br>

But I go my own way <br>

That's my philosophy <br>

I don't care <br>

I don't care if he's clerk or just a millionaire <br>

There's no doubt about it, I'll sing and I'll shout it <br>

Cause I don't care <br>

Oh, I don't care, I don't care <br>

When it comes to happiness, I want my share <br>

Don't try to rearrange me <br>

There's nothing can change me 'cause I don't care. <br>
