I Don't Care

This weekend I watched "Shop Around the Corner" with Jimmy Stewart followed up by "In the Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland. Same story with different actors. May top it off today with "You've Got Mail", the most recent incarnation of the story.

My favorite Judy Garland sang "I Don't Care" in her version. I think that's become my motto!

I Don't Care

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
