Try not to get worried
Try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know everything's all right
Yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
lf we try, we'll get by so forget all about us
Tonight
[Everything's all right, yes
Everything's all right, yes]

Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel everything's all right
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 all right, yes
Everything's all right, yes]

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
They matter more than your feet and hair

Try not to get worried
Try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know everything's all right
Yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
lf we try, we'll get by so forget all about us
Tonight
[Everything's all right, yes
Everything'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 and 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 all right
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
Think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight…
