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
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
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 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 Magdalene:
Try not to get worried,
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
don't you know
Mary Magdalene and 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 you'll be so sorry when I'm gone
Mary Magdalene:
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
Apostles' women:
Close your eyes close your eyes and relax think of nothing tonight
Mary Magdalene:
Close your eyes close your eyes and relax
Everyting is alright yes everyting is alright yes
Everyting is alright yes everyting is alright yes
