Bah, bum-pah-dah-dah

(Yeah)
Baby

Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Sing
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta 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 every single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
When we go out steppin' out for a while
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 say, baby, everything is alright
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean outta sight
ย
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 ol' house, full of butlers, maids
She says no one is better than I
I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan (baby)
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poor man's son
Can't give her for 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
Outta sight because my heart is true
She says, baby everything is alright
Outta sight, clean outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, clean outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, ah-ha-ha, ha-ha-yeah (woo)
Baby
Break it down, break it down (woo)
Break it down (break it down)
