[Verse 1] 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." [Pre-Chorus] I said, "Reach out, take my hand, you'll understand." [Chorus] Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight [Verse 2] 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 of elephants 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." [Pre-Chorus] I said, "Reach out, take my hand, you'll understand." [Chorus] Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight [Verse 3] Little ole' man sittin' on a step, same ole' man A tear trickled down his cheek I said, "Hey, how ya doin' after that train ran over ya?" He said, "WHAT train?" I said, "The train that ran over ya a half hour before the elephants stampeded over ya." He said, "What elephants?" I said, "Hmm" same "Hmm." He says, "You're a young boy." Says, "Ya got a lot to learn." [Pre-Chorus] He says "Reach out, take my hand, you'll understand." [Chorus] Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight Baby, everything is alright Uptight, outta sight
