'Tain't What You Do

When I was a kid about half past three
My ma said, "Child, come here to me"
Says, "Things may come and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know!"

Oh, 'tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
That's what gets results

'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
That's what gets results

You can try hard, don't mean a thing
Take it easy, then your jive will swing

'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
That's what gets results

'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
That's what gets results

It's the way how you do it
It's the way that you say it
It's the way how you do it
It's the way that you say it

You can try hard, don't mean a thing
Take it easy, then your jive will swing

'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way how you do it
That's what gets results

Oh, 'tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
'Tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
That's what gets results

It's the way that you do it
It's the way that you say it
It's the way that you do it
It's the way that you say it
