Everything's Alright - Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Jesus Christ Superstar" 1996 London Cast, Joanna Ampil

MARY MAGDALENE:

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

APOSTLE'S WOMEN:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

MARY:

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

APOSTLE'S WOMEN:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

JUDAS:

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

Matter more than your feet and hair

MARY:

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

APOSTLE'S WOMEN:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

JESUS:

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

MARY:

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

ALL:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
