Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, you need timing
A-ticka, ticka, ticka, good timing
Tocka, tocka, tocka, tocka
Timing is the thing
It's true
Good timing brought me to you
[Verse 2]
If little, little David hadn't grabbed that stone
Lying there on the ground
Big Goliath might've stomped on him
Instead of the other way round
[Verse 3]
But he had timing
A-ticka, ticka, ticka, good timing
A-tocka, tocka, tocka, tocka
Timing is the thing
It's true
Good timing brought me to you
[Verse 4]
Who in the world would have ever known
What Columbus could do
If Queen Isabella hadn't hocked her jewels
In 1492?
[Verse 5]
But she had timing
A-ticka, ticka, ticka, good timing
A-tocka, tocka, tocka, tocka
Timing is the thing
It's true
Good timing brought me to you
[Verse 6]
What would have happened if you and I
Hadn't just happened to meet?
We might have spent the rest of our lives
Walking down Misery Street
[Verse 7]
But we had timing
A-ticka, ticka, ticka, good timing
A-tocka, tocka, tocka, tocka
Timing is the thing
It's true
Good timing brought me to you
[Verse 8]
Yeah, we had timing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, good timing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Timing is the thing
It's true
Good timing brought me to you
[Verse 9]
Yeah, we had timing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, good timing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Timing is the thing
It's true
