The Chipmunks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singin', don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin', smiled at the rising sun
Three little birds pitched by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Singin' don't worry (no no no) 'bout a thing ('bout a thing)
'Cause every little thing (oh) is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
Singin' don't worry (don't you worry) about a thing (baby, don't you worry 'bout a thing)
'Cause every little thing, is gonna be alright (yes it is)
Rise up this mornin', smiled to the rising sun
Three little birds pitched by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Singing, this is my message to you (so, pretty baby, let me tell you)
Don't worry, (Don't you worry) about a thing (No, don't you worry 'bout a thing 'cause)
Every little thing (yeah-heah) is gonna be alright (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singin' don't worry (no, don't you worry) 'bout a thing (said don't you worry 'bout a thing 'cause)
Every little thing (ooh) is gonna be alright (alright)
Baby, don't worry (no) about a thing (no, don't you worry 'bout a thing cause)
Every little thing (everything) is gonna be alright (yes it is, yes it is, yes it is)
Singin' don't worry (no don't you worry) 'bout a thing (said don't you worry bout a thing 'cause)
Every little thing (yeah-heah) is gonna be alright
