Intro
Chorus 1
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Verse 1
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.
But I'm the envy of every 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.
Bridge 1
But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,
Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...
Chorus 2
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Verse 2
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.
Bridge 2
No one, is better than I,
I know; I'm just an average guy.
Verse 3
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 make my baby cry.
Bridge 3
And it's all right, what I can't do,
Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...
Chorus 3
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight. She says...
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight. She says...
Coda
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah. She says...
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right,
Uptight; out of sight.
