Everything’s Alright Lyrics By Yvonne Elliman

    yvonne
    sleep and i shall soothe you calm you and anoint you
    myrrh for your hot forehead and
    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

    women
    everything’s alright yes everything’s alright yes

    carl
    hey 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
    people who are hungry people who are starving
    matter more than your feet and hair

    yvonne
    try not to get worried try not to turn on to
    problems that upset you
    don’t you know
    everything’s alright yes everything’s alright yes

    ted
    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’d be lost and you’d be sorry
    when i’m gone

    yvonne
    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

    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
    all
    everything’s alright yes everything’s alright yes
