'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
