[ Featuring Chorus ]
Try not to get worried, try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you
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
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
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
Hey 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
Try not to get worried, try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright-
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, and you'll be 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
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
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
