Try not to get worried
try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright yes
everything'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
Everything's alright yes
everything's alright yes
Sleep and I shall soothe you
calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes
everything'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
Everything's alright yes
everything's alright yes
Woman your fine ointment
brand new and expensive
Could 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
They matter more than
your feet and hair
Try not to get worried
try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright yes
everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we get by so forget
all about us tonight
Everything's alright yes
everything's alright 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 oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes
everything'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
