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

'Tain't what you do it's the way that you have to do

'Tain't what you do it's the way that you have to do

'Tain't what you do it's the way that you have to doing

That's what gets results

Mamamama

'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

'Tain't what you do it's the time that you do it

'Tain't what you do it's the place that you do it

That's what gets results
