"'Tain't What You Do" lyrics

"'Tain't What You Do"

When I was a kid about half past three
My daddy said, "Baby, come here to me"
Says, "Things may come and things may go
But this is 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 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!

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

Wo 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!

Yes, yes
Yes, yes
Yes, yes

You can try hard, don't mean a thing
Take it easy, breezy, crazy baby swing!

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!
