The Right Time Songtext
von Gordon Haskell

Way up on the mountain
Where the rivers too cold to flow
For reasons best forgotten
"You don′t always need a good hand
I knew I had to go

So I packed up my dilemma
And I dried the final tear
When a wise old man came rolling by
Said "I know just why you're here"

And he smiled, said to me
"There ain′t nothing in this world that you can't be"

"You've got a get into the right town
To put you in the right mood
And pick up with the right girl
And get into a good groove"

"You don′t always need a good hand
To build yourself a strong case
It′s got a be the right time
And being in the right place"


So I went down to the valley
I didn't know which way to turn
Then a gypsy lady told me
"There′s something you should learn"

"When you ride the roller-coaster
And it takes you round and round
Though your heart is full of tenderness
Don't let it drag you down"

And she smiled, said"Be You
There ain′t nothing in this world that you can't do"

"You′ve Gotham get into the right town
To put you in the right mood
And pick up with the right girl
And get into a good groove"

"You don't always need a good hand
To build yourself a strong case
It's Gita be the right time
And being in the right place"

So I checked into the city
And the city felt really good
Then I met the kind of girl
You only get in Hollywood.


She worked up in the movies
Asked me would I play the part
Of a guy who lived a lifetime
Trying to hide a broken heart

There it was, the feather bed
Then I suddenly remembered what they said

Well, it must have been the right town
To put me in the right mood
I picked up with the right girl
And got me in a good groove
You don′t always need a good hand
To build yourself a strong case
It′s got a be the right time
