When I was a kid about half past three
My mammy said: Baby, come here to me
Now things may come, things may go
But here's one thing you ought to know

'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 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

You can try hard
Don't mean a thing
Take it easy, greasy
Then your jive will swing

'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

Yes, yes
Yes, yes
Yes, yes

You can try hard
Don't mean a thing
Take it easy, greasy
Crazy babe, swing

'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

Yeah, daddy, yeah
