[D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.

Verse 1
[D] [C/D]
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
[D] [C/D]
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.
[D] [C/D]
But I'm the envy of every single guy,
[D] [C/D]
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
[D] [C/D]
When we go out stepping on the town, for a while,
[D] [C/D]
My money's low, and my suit's out of style.
Bridge 1
[D] [C/D]
But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,
[D] [C/D]
Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

Verse 2
[D] [C/D]
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
[D] [C/D]
I guess her folks brought her up that way.
[D] [C/D]
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised,
[D] [C/D]
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids.
Bridge 2
[D] [C/D]
No one, is better than I,
[D] [C/D]
I know; I'm just an average guy.
Verse 3
[D] [C/D]
No football hero, or smooth Don Juan,
[D] [C/D]
Got empty pockets, you see; I'm a poor man's son.
[D] [C/D]
Can't give her the things that money can buy,
[D] [C/D]
But I'll never, never make my baby cry.
Bridge 3
[D] [C/D]
And it's all right, what I can't do,
[D] [C/D]
Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

Uptight; ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah. She says...
