Little Ole Man (Uptight-Everything's Alright)

A little ole' man was sittin' on a step And a tear trickled own his cheek I said "What's the matter?" He said "A train just ran over me." I said "Hmm. How often does this happen?" He said "Everyday about this time." I said "Well, why do you just sit out here then?" He said "Cause I cannot believe that this happened." I said "Reach out, take my hand, you'll understand." Baby, everything is alright, uptight, outta sight. Baby, everything is alright, uptight, outta sight Little ole' man was sittin' on the step, same ole' man And a tear trickled down his cheek I said "What's the matter?" He said "A herd f eephants just stampeded over me." I said "Hmm" same "Hmm." I said "How often does this happen?" He said "Everyday, a half hour after the train runs over me." I said "Reach out, take my hand, you'll understand." Baby, everything is alright, uptight, outta sight.
