The Specials - It Ain't What You Do lyrics

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it And that's what gets results It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it And that's what gets results You can try hard don't mean a thing Take it easy and then your jive will swing It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it And that's what gets results I thought I was smart but I soon found out I didn't know what life was all about But then I learnt I must confess That life is like a game of chess It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it And that's what gets results You can try hard don't mean a thing Take it easy and then your jive will swing It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it And that's what gets results It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it And that's what gets results It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it And that's what gets results (ad lib)
