Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 2]
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 3]
You can try hard, ah-ah-ah
Don't mean a thing, ah-ah-ah
Take it easy
Ah-ah-ah
Then your jive will swing
Ah-ah-ah
[Verse 4]
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 5]
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
[Verse 6]
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
[Verse 7]
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
Do-do-do do-do do-do do do
Ah-ah ah-ah
[Verse 8]
I thought I was smart, but I soon found out
I didn't know what life was all about
But then I learned I must confess
That life is like a game of chess
[Verse 9]
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 10]
You can try hard, ah-ah-ah
Don't mean a thing, ah-ah-ah
Take it easy, ah-ah-ah
Then your jive will swing, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 11]
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 12]
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 13]
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
And that's what gets results
[Verse 14]
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results
