Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Perch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
"Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright."
"Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!"
