A couple of lines on a table? Time to get on it, folks! (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

all aboard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to get on it folks' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'a couple of lines on a table?' is the wordplay.
'a couple of lines' becomes 'all' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'table?' becomes 'board' (board is a kind of table**).
'all'+'a'+'board'='ALL ABOARD'

'time' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
