Tain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)

T'aint What You Do (It's the Way That Cha Do It) - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Trummy Young/Sy Oliver

When I was a kid about half past three

My ma said daughter come here to me

Says things may come and things may go

But this is one thing you ought to know

Oh 'tain't what you do it's the way that you do it

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

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

That's what gets results

'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

Take it easy breezy then your jive will swing

Oh it 'tain't what you do it's the place 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 way that you do it

That's what gets results

You've learned your A B C's

You've learned your D F G's

But this is something you don't learn in school

So get your hep boots on

And then you'll carry on

But remember if you try too hard

It don't mean a thing take it easy

'Tain't what bring do it's the way that you bring it

'Tain't what swing do it's the way that you swing it

'Tain't what sing do it's the way that you sing it

That's what gets results

That's what gets results rebop
