When i was a kid, about half past three
 My ma said [bad word] here to me 
Says, things [bad word] and things may go 
But this is one thing you ought to know

 [bad word] 
 Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it (x3) 
That's what gets results 
Ain't what you do, it's time that you do it (x3)
 That's what gets results You can try hard, 
don't mean a thing Take it easy, easy, in the
 jive'n swing Ain't what you do, it's the place
 that you do it Aint what you do, it's the time
 that you do it Ain't what you do, it's the way 
that you do it That's what gets results You've 
learned your abcs, 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 carry on But remember not to try too
 hard or it don't mean a thing [bad word]  Ain't 
what you do, it's the time you do it (2x) Ain't
 what you sing it's the way that you sing it 
That's what gets results (2x)
