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
APOSTLES'WOMEN
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
MARY MAGDALENE
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
APOSTLES' 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 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 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
MARY MAGDALENE,
APOSTLES' 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 and you'll be sorry when I'm gone
MARY MAGDALENE
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
Close your eyes close your eyes and relax...
ALL
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes...
