Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just got back from a vaudeville show
Do-hoo you sing and dance
I-hi'll take a chance
We-ell OK let us go.
Well all right (well all right) dig, dig, dig
Well all right (well all right) chuff, chuff, chuff
Well all right for tonight is the night to be bright
The music's stompin' to ya, you know tonight's the night
Oh we're goin', I don't know where we'll go but we're goin',
Oh we're goin', the only thing I know is that we're goin'
Feel the rhythm runnin' through ya,
You know tonight's the night.
Well all right (well all right) dig, dig, dig
Well all right (well all right) chuff, chuff, chuff
Well all right (well all right) hi,hi,hi
Well all right, well all right, well all right, well all right.

The music's stompin' to ya, you know tonight's the night
The Andrew Sisters’ “All Right” is an upbeat and playful song that describes the excitement of going out for a night of music and dancing. The first verse begins with the sisters greeting a man named Joe with a question, “What do you know?” The sisters inform Joe that they just returned from a vaudeville show, and they suggest he join them for a night of singing, dancing, and fun. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “well all right” numerous times, conveying a sense of excitement and joyfulness. The sisters chant and use onomatopoeia like “dig, dig, dig” and “chuff, chuff, chuff” to amplify the feeling of the upbeat rhythm. The song’s final verses describe getting ready to go on a car ride with Jack and travel down to Dixieland for an evening full of blues and music.

This is another Andrews Sisters song I adore. They are really amazing. I hope that Patty Andrews, my favorite member of the three, will celebrate her centennial birthday. Thanks for posting this clip. Let me express my thanks to you from Japan.
Napoléon Bouchet
Now it says that she died of old age and natural causes in 2013.
Lisa S
Yes, toward the end of January. She was a little over two weeks short of ninety-five.

I love the brightness and immediacy of the 1940s' big band recordings.

There are excellent dynamics in all Andrew Sister's songs especially this one.

Well, it was written by Francis Faye; her other songs were rock-and-rollish too.

I believe that it reached no.1 on the Hit Parade in 1939. Why it has been almost forgotten is a mystery.
