Tain't What You Do - Jimmie Lunceford, Trummy Young, Jimmie Lunceford & His Orchestra

When I was a kid about half past three

My ma said «Daughter, come here to me»

Said things may come, and things may go

But this is one thing you ought to know…

Oh 't ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it

'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it

'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it

That’s what gets results

'T ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it

'T ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it

'T ain’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

Take it easy, greasy

Then your jive will swing

Oh 't ain’t what you do it’s the place that you do it

'T ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it

'T ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it

That’s what gets results
