A little ole man
Was sitting on a step
And a tear kinda
Trickled down 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 every day about this time
I said, well, why do you
Just sit out here then
He said cause I cannot
Believe that it's happening
I said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand
[CHORUS]
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Little ole man sitting 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 every day a half hour
After the train runs over me
I said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand
[repeat CHORUS]
Little ole man sitting on the step
Same ole man and a tear
Trickled down his cheek
I said, hey, how you doing
After that train ran over you
He said what train
I said the train that ran
Over you a half hour before
The elephants stampeded over you
He said what elephants
I said hmm, same hmmm
He said you're a young boy
Said you got a lot to learn
He said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand
