Uptight (Everything's Alright) Songtext
von Chantz

Baby, ha, everything is all right
Up tight, out of sight
Baby, ha, everything is all right
Up tight, out of sight

I′m a poor man's son from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own hangin′ on my back
I'm the envy of every single guy
I'm the apple of my girl′s eye
We go steppin′ out 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 are new
Out of sight because my heart is true

She says, "Baby, yeah, everything is all right
Up tight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Up tight, yeah, out of sight." She′s a

Pearl of a girl, that's what you might say

I guess old folks brought her up that way


Right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big house with butlers and maids
And no one, ha, is better than I
I know I′m just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, I'm a poor man's son
And I can′t give her things that money can buy
But I′ll never, never, never make my baby cry
It's all right, ha, what I can′t do
Out of sight because my heart is true

She says, "Baby, yeah, everything is all right
Up tight, I'm out of sight
Baby, yeah, everything is all right
Up tight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Up tight and out of sight

Baby, everything is all right." Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
Oh, say what?
Can I do it again?
Baby, everything is all right
Up tight, up tight, up tight and out of sight, yeah
Everything is all right
