When I was a kid about half past three
2
My ma said, "Daughter, come here to me"
3
Says, "Things may come and things may go
4
But this is one thing you ought to know"
5
Oh, 'tain't what you do; it's the way that you do it
6
'Tain't what you do; it's the way that you do it
7
'Tain't what you do; it's the way that you do it
8
That's what gets results
9
'Tain't what you do; it's the time that you do it
10
'Tain't what you do; it's the time that you do it
11
'Tain't what you do; it's the time that you do it
12
That's what gets results
13
You can try hard, don't mean a thing
14
Take it easy, breezy, then your jive will swing
15
Oh, it 'tain't what you do; it's the place that you do it
16
'Tain't what you do; it's the time that you do it
17
'Tain't what you do; it's the way that you do it
18
That's what gets results

You've learned your A B C's
20
You've learned your D F G's
21
But this is something you don't learn in school
22
So get your hep boots on
23
And then you'll carry on
24
But remember if you try too hard
25
It don't mean a thing, take it easy
26
'Tain't what bring do; it's the way that you bring it
27
'Tain't what swing do; it's the way that you swing it

That's what gets results, rebop
