"Don't Worry Baby"

I noticed two features in the line "Ev'rything will turn out alright" in "Don't Worry Baby."  The three syllables of "Ev'rything" are each sung to a different pitch (E# F# G#), musically giving a sense of breadth.  The "al-" of "alright" is sung with a melisma (I think it's D# E# D#), giving a sense of entirety.
