Lyrics 'Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It) - Jimmie Lunceford And His Orchestra, Trummy Young

'Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)

When I was a kid about half past three
My ma said «Daughter, come here to me»
Said things may come, and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know…
Oh 't ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
That’s what gets results
'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
You can try hard
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 time that you do it
'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
That’s what gets results
