one two three
First three integers
One two three is a count preceding a coordinated action—a verbal cue to synchronize timing: One two three, lift!
It signals that everyone should act together on "three" or immediately after.
The phrase also appears in contexts of learning or demonstration, marking beats or steps: One two three, one two three when teaching a waltz.
