T’Aint What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It) Songtext
von Jimmie Lunceford

When I was a kid about half past three
My dad said, "Son, 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 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 (ma ma ma ma)


′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 (Don't mean a thing)
Take it easy, breezy, then your jive will swing

Oh, it
′Tain't what you do, it's the place 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 way that you do it
That's what gets results
