Rocking Chair (It's Gonna Be All Right) Lyrics

By dean friedman

"well, well," said the rocking chair.
"it's been a while since I've seen such stark despair."
"who told you like was fair? "
"woa, woa," said the radio, "sit, there are some things you ought to know"
"there is little you can do to stop the pain and it's gonna happen time and time again,
But just remember even though it sounds insane,
It's impossible to ever love somebody in vain."

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right.


"no, no," said the balcony, "if it's pity you want don't come to me."
"no, nothing comes for free."
"yes, yes," said the coffee cup, "maybe now is the time to act grown up."
"if you feel like your world is crashing in, simply dial up your nearest kith or kin."
"if you open up and let them in,
You'll discover that you'll probably make it through once again."

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right.


"hey, hey," said the table top, "don't be making like you're anything you're not."
"make do with what you've got".
"don't forget," said the cuckoo clock, "any parts you need we've got in stock."
"take a look at the place you call your home. you're reflected in all the things you own. and the seeds of reason you have sown,
They're a measure of a part of you that's already grown."

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right.

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
In the summer of 1977, Dean Friedman marked his entry into US pop consciousness with the enormous success (his only American hit, it peaked at #26) of his infectious hit single Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, music loving, vegetarian Jewish girl in a peasant blouse who lived, as the lyric goes, "...way on the other side of the Hudson."

A year later, Friedman struck a chord in the UK, this time with a magical duet (performed with singer Denise Marsa) entitled Lucky Stars. Lucky Stars zoomed to #3 in the UK singles charts going instantly gold.

The now classic single Lucky Stars paved the way for a slew of hits off of Friedman's humorously titled album "Well, Well" Said the Rocking Chair", including familiar tracks such as Lydia and Rocking Chair as well as singles from his first album, Woman of Mine and Ariel.

Dean Friedman holds the honor of having one of his songs banned by the BBC. The song goes "I am in love with a McDonalds girl." Because the song had the name of a business in it, the BBC wouldn't play it.

Dean wrote the music for the UK TV series "Boon" and is also known in his local area as a children's entertainer with such songs as "I'm Somebody Too", "Brush Your Teeth" and "Never, Never Play With Matches". In addition, he has released a collection of "Silly Hebrew School songs for silly Jewish kids covering Jewish holidays".

Now in his 50s, Dean still writes, records and tours.
