'taint What You Do (it's The Way That You Do It) Lyrics - The Voice Of Jazz - Ella Fitzgerald

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 

You've learned your ABC's 

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'll carry on 

But remember if you're tryin' too hard 

It don't mean a thing 

Take it easy

'T ain't what you bring it's the way that you bring it 

'T ain't what you swing it's the way that you swing it 

'T ain't what you sing) 

- it's the way that you sing it 

(That's what gets results)

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

That's what gets results
