Oh, you need timin'

If little, little David hadn't grabbed that stone 
Lyin' there on the ground 
Big Goliath might-a stomped on him 
Instead of the other way 
But he had.....

Who in the world woulda ever known 
What Columbus could do 
If Queen Isabella hadn't hocked her jewels 
In fourteen-ninety-two 
But she had.....

A-tock-a-tock-a-tock-a-tock-a-timin'

What woulda happened if you and I 
Hadn't just happened to meet

Walkin' down Misery Street 
But we had.....

Good timin' brought me to you

Woh, woh, woh, good timin' 
Yea,yea,yea,yea, timin' is the thing, it's true
