Baby, everything is alright Up tight, out of sight
Baby, everything is alright Up tight, out of sight
I'm a poor man's son from across the railroad track
Only shirt I own has cream on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
Said I'm the apple of my girl's eye
We go out steppin' on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's all stock
But it's alright, my clothes aren't new
Outside, because my heart is true
She said, baby, everything is alright
Up tight, out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Up tight, clean out of sight
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say
I guess all the folks brought her up that way
The right side of track, she wasn't born and raised
In a great big old house, but her brothers didn't make
She said, no one is better than I
I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or school don
Got every part, but you see, I'm a poor man's son
Can't give other things that money can buy
But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry
And it's alright, what I can't do
Outside, because my heart is true
She said, baby, everything is alright
Up tight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Up tight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Up tight, tight
Baby, everything is alright
Up tight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Up tight, clean out of sight
