Who Cares 1922 Al Jolson

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 31 Dec 2003

Ev'rybody has got somebody
to tell their troubles to.
A sympathetic pal
or true blue regular gal.
I'm somebody who's got nobody
to go to when I'm blue.
There's love and sympathy
for ev'rybody but me.

Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it's breaking
Who cares?
Oh! gee! Poor me!
How often I got feeling sentimental
but no one gives a continental.
Who cares
how many tears I shed
at night time
when I've said my pray'rs?
I guess I'll 'phone the old maids' home
Gee whiz! How tough it is
when there's nobody who cares!

Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it's breaking
Who cares?
Oh! gee! Poor me!
How often I got feeling sentimental
but no one gives a continental.
Who cares
how many tears I shed
at night time
when I've said my pray'rs?
I guess I'll 'phone the old maids' home
Gee whiz! How tough it is
when there's nobody who cares!

When somebody has got nobody
it makes somebody mad.
To see somebody sweet
with ev'rybody you meet
if nobody had anybody
to make somebody glad
How sad and blue like me
Most ev'rybody would be.

Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it's breaking
Who cares?
Oh! gee! Poor me!
How often I got feeling sentimental
but no one gives a continental.
Who cares
how many tears I shed
at night time
when I've said my pray'rs?
I guess I'll 'phone the old maids' home
Gee whiz! How tough it is
when there's nobody who cares!

Who cares if my heart is aching?
At times when it's breaking
Who cares?
Oh! gee! Poor me!
How often I got feeling sentimental
but no one gives a continental.
Who cares
how many tears I shed
at night time
when I've said my pray'rs?
I guess I'll 'phone the old maids' home
Gee whiz! How tough it is
when there's nobody who cares!

Described as Al Jolson's Sensational Hit - here is a song of
his that I had not heard before. It was featured in
Messrs. Lee and J.J.Schubert's Production of the
Musical Extravaganza "Bombo" - 1922
