Nothing's gonna fall out of heaven
Into your lap
Man you had better
Whoa, keep this in mind

If you want something in this whole world
You gotta be at the right place
At the right time
Be at the right place
Oh Lord, at the right time

If you wanna live good like the Joneses
You gotta seek in order to find
In other words
Do like the Joneses did
When they even had their prime time

If you want something in this whole world
You gotta be at the right place
At the right time
Be at the right place
Oh, at the right time

If all you do is sleep all day
You can expect nothing but a dream
Everybody that had got anything
Out of this world they had to go out
Plan, plot and scheme
Be at the right place
Oh, at the right time
Be at the right place
Oh Lord, at the right time

Nobody's gonna give you nothing
As cripple, lame and blind
Ain't nothing's gonna come to you
You gotta seek in order to find

Be at the right place
Oh, at the right time
Be at the right place
Oh, at the right time
You gotta be at the right place
At the right time
(repeat once)
