All The Small Things
Alvin and The Chipmunks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the, small things,
True care, truth brings,
I'll take, one lift,
Your ride, best trip,

Always, I know,
You'll be at my show,
Watching, waiting,
Comiserating

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

(Alvin harmonizing)

Late night, come home,
Work sucks, I know!!
She left me roses by the stairs,
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so,
I will not go
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

(Alvin harmonizing)

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, little windmill

Say it ain't so, I will not go,
Turn the lights off, carry me home,
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on,
The night will go on,




The night will go on,
Little windmill

Overall Meaning

The song “All the Small Things” by Alvin and the Chipmunks talks about the importance of simple things in life and how true care and truth brings happiness. The first verse talks about taking one lift and having the best trip. This could mean that having one good friend can make your life better and more enjoyable. The second verse talks about coming home after a long day at work and finding a surprise that shows someone cares about you. This could mean that even the smallest gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life.


The chorus talks about not wanting to go and wanting to be carried home instead. This could represent wanting to hold onto a moment or a feeling a little longer, and not wanting it to end. The repetition of “na na na” adds to the catchy and fun nature of the song. The bridge talks about keeping your head still and enjoying the thrill of the night, even if it means going on like a little windmill. This could represent holding onto the excitement and joy of life, even when things get tough.

The actual music isn't bad because an actual band with actual talent wrote the original song
