Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
Don't you know
Every thing's alright?

Yes, every thing's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight

Every thing's all right
Yes, every thing's all right, yes

Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Then you'll feel
Every thing's all right

Yes, every thing's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight

Every thing's all right
Yes, every thing's all right, yes

Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?

We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving matter more
Than your feet and hair

Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
Don't you know?

And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight

Every thing's all right
Yes, every thing's all right, yes

Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got

Think while you still have me
Move while you still see me
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry
When I'm gone

Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Then you'll feel
Every thing's alright

Yes, every thing's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing

Every thing's all right
Yes, every thing's all right, yes
