All That Jazz
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Good Lord up above, can't you know I'm finding, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do but roll around Heaven all day

(Good Lord above, can't you know I'm finding, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise)
Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do but roll around (Heaven, Heaven, Heaven)
Oh roll around (Heaven, Heaven) Heaven all day





Let me roll around Heaven all day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "'All That Jazz" by [unknown] describe the daily struggle that the songwriter goes through in his life. He wakes up every morning and goes out to work hard all day to earn a living for his family, but despite all his efforts, he is still unhappy and feels unfulfilled. He sees the sun rolling around in the sky, carefree and with nothing to do, and wishes that he could have the same peaceful existence. He fusses with his woman and toils for his kids, but he still feels like there's something missing in his life. He's tired of putting in all this effort and wants a break. He asks God to send a cloud with a silver lining to lift him to paradise, to show him a river he can cross to wash all his troubles away, and to give him nothing to do but roll around heaven all day.
