'T Ain't What You Do

When I was a kid about half past three

My daddy said, "Son, come here to me"

Said "Things may come, and things may go

But this is one thing you ought to know"

('t ain't what you do)

It's the way how you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the way how you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the way how you do it

That's what gets results

Mama, mama

('t ain't what you do)

It's the time that you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the time that you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the time that you do it

That's what gets results

Oh

(You can try hard, don't mean a thing)

Don't mean a thing

(Take it easy)

Greasy

Then your jive will swing

(Oh 't ain't what you do)

It's the place that you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the place that you do it

('t ain't what you do)

It's the place that you do it

That's what gets results
