lyrics

When I was a kid about half past three
My daddy said, "Son, come here to me"
He said, "Things may come and things may go,
But here’s one thing you ought to know!"

'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

'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, it don't mean a thing;
Take it easy, breezy, then your jive will swing

‘Tain't what you do, it's the place 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 way that you do it,
That's what gets results

You've learned your A B C's, you've learned your D F G's,
But this is something you don't learn in school;
So get your hep boots on, and then you'll carry on,
But remember if you try too hard, it don't mean a thing, take it easy…

'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

'Tain't what you bring, it's the way that you bring it,
'Tain't what you swing, it's the way that you swing it,
'Tain't what you sing, it's the way that you sing it,
That's what gets results
