That's all right for you.
Yeh that's all right mama,
Just anyway you do.
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right my mama,
Well mama she done told me,
Papa done told me too.
Son that gal you're fooling with,
She ain't no girl for you.
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right my mama,
Anyway you do.
I'm leaving town baby,
I'm leaving town for sure,
Then you won't be bothered
With me hanging round your door.
That's all right,
That's all right.
Yeh that's all right my mama,
Anyway you do.
Well that's all right mama,
Yeah that's all right for you.
That's all right mama,
Just anyway you do.
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right my mama,
Anyway you do.
Dee dee dee dee dee dee,
Da da dee dee dee,
Da da dee dee dee,
I need your loving.
That's all right.
Well that's all right my mama,
Anyway you do.
Yeh that's all right my mama,
Anyway you do.
The lyrics to The Beatles' song "That's All Right" deal with the theme of love and acceptance. The singer is in love with a girl, but both his mother and father warn him that the girl in question is not right for him. Despite this warning, the singer continues to pursue the girl, insisting that it's alright for him to love her no matter how others may feel about her. He eventually decides to leave town, seemingly to protect himself and the girl from any further scrutiny, but still professing his love in the process.
On a deeper level, the song can be seen as a commentary on societal norms and the pressures to conform to them. The singer's parents warn him about the girl because she is not seen as socially acceptable, but he chooses to follow his heart instead of bowing to societal pressure. The repeated refrain of "that's all right" can be seen as a defiant statement, declaring that it's okay to be different and to love whoever you want, despite what others may say.
Overall, "That's All Right" is a simple yet powerful ode to love, individuality, and acceptance.

This is the first record I bought of Elvis in 1956 when I was 13 years old, I have every recording he made in my collection.
@jimhoffmann
Very cool. You lived the history. My mom told me how, when she went to her friend’s house, she heard this powerful song on the record player. She implored her friend, “Who’s that?” Her friend replied simply, “That’s Elvis.”

Mate, you need to start a social media channel talking about music history and your experiences please? You've lived a long life through a lot of great generations and we need to hear all about it!
