 GAnd you discAover that tDiming is GeverythAing, you've gBmot to get it rGight,A  
 TDiming is GeverythAing in lDife,
 We brDeak apart when world's collide, as GeverybAody knDows, we knGow it!
 You hDear she'll be somebody's bride, and jGust can't lAet her gF#o,
 So gGet down to the church, and let her sF#mee you once agGain,
 EBefore you know it she is kDissing you, and thrGows the rAing awDay,
 GAnd then she whAispers to you, tDiming is GeverythAing, you fBminally got it rGight,A  
 TDiming is GeverythAing in lDife,  G    AtDiming is GeverythAing in lBbife,
 Sooner or lCater Amall good thBbings come to your hCeart, in lAife
 It's a wBbaitCing gDame,
 GWhen you remAember that tDiming is GeverythAing, you've gBmot to get it rGight,A
