Lyrics

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight I'm a poor man's son, from across the railroad tracks The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say I guess her folks brought her up that way The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy No football hero or smooth Don Juan Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poor man's son Can't give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry And it's all right, what I can't do Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ha ha ha ha, yeah Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, way out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
