John Kander
All I Care About
[EMCEE, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen
Presenting the silver-tongue
The prince of the courtroom
The one, the only
Billy Flynn

[GIRLS]
We want Billy
Where is Billy?
Give us Billy
We want Billy
B-I-double-L-Y
We're all his
He's our kind of a guy
And ooh what luck
'Cause here he is...

[BILLY, spoken]
Is everybody here?
Is everybody ready?
Hit it!

[BILLY]
I don't care about expensive things
Cashmere coats, or diamond rings
Don't mean a thing
All I care about is love
[GIRLS, BILLY]
That's what he's here for
That's what I'm here for

[BILLY]
I don't care for wearin' silk cravats
Ruby studs, satin spats
Don't mean a thing
All I care about is love

[GIRLS]
All he cares about is love

[BILLY]
Give me two
Eyes of blue
Softly saying, "I need you"
Let me see her standin' there
And honest, mister, I'm a millionaire

I don't care for any fine attire
Vanderbilt might admire
No, no, not me
All I care about is love...

[GIRLS]
All he cares about is love
[BILLY, spoken]
Well maybe you think I'm talkin' about physical love
Well I'm not, not just physical love
There's other kinds of love, like love of justice
Love of legal procedure
Love of lendin' a hand to someone who really needs you
Love of your fellow man
That's the kind of love I'm talkin' about
And physical love ain't so bad either

[Whistling]

[BILLY]
It may sound odd
But all I care about is love

[GIRLS, BILLY]
That's what he's here for
That's what I'm here for

[BILLY]
Ba ba baba baba
Boo boo boo
Ba baba
A-boo boo boo
Honest to god
All I care about is love
[GIRLS]
All he cares about is love

[BILLY]
Show me long raven hair
Flowin' down, about to there
Let me see
Her runnin' free
Keep your money, that's enough for me
I don't care for drivin' Packard cars
Or smoking long buck cigars
No, no, not me
All I care about is
Doin' the guy in
Who's pickin, on you
Twistin' the wrist
That's turnin' the screw
All I care about is love!

[GIRLS]
All he cares about is love!
