When i was a kid, about half past three My ma said daughter, come here to me Says, things may come and things may go But this is one thing you ought to know
(chorus1) Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it (x3) That's what gets results Ain't what you do, it's time that you do it (x3) That's what gets results You can try hard, don't mean a thing Take it easy, easy, in the jive'n swing Ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it Aint what you do, it's the time that you do it Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it That's what gets results You've learned your abcs, you've learned your dfg s But this is something you don't learn in school So get your hip boots on, and then you carry on But remember not to try too hard or it don't mean a thing (chorus) Ain't what you do, it's the time you do it (2x) Ain't what you sing it's the way that you sing it That's what gets results (2x)
