I Can't Be Bothered Now (From "Damsel in Distress") - Fred Astaire, Ray Noble and His Orchestra

Bad news, go 'way

Call 'round some day

In March or May

I can’t be bothered now

My bonds and shares

May fall downstairs

Who cares, who cares?

I’m dancing and I can’t be bothered now

I’m up among the stars

On earthly things I frown

I’m throwing off the bars

That held me down

I’ll pay the piper when times get riper

Just now I shan’t

Because you see

I’m dancing and I can’t be bothered now
