When I was a kid about half past three My daddy said "Son, come here to me" He said things may come and things may go But this is one thing you ought to know
T'aint what you do It's the way that you do it T'aint what you do It's the way that you do it T'aint what you do It's the way that you do it That's what gets me through
T'aint what you do It's the time that you do it T'aint what you do It's the time that you do it T'aint what you do It's the time that you do it That's what gets me through
Oh you can try hard It don't mean a thing Make it easy, pleasy Then you'll jive and swing
T'aint what you do It's the place that you do it T'aint what you do It's the place that you do it T'aint what you do It's the place that you do it That's what gets me through
