Words of wisdom that heal & nourish the Soul


The Highflier Special

For getting somewhere


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?
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 place that you do it.
And that's what gets results.

I thought I was smart but 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 is the way that you do it' is a jazz-song written en recorded by Sy Oliver and James Young in 1939. In 1982 it was transformed into a pop song and became a huge hit for Bananarama and the Fun Boy Three.

Following Oliver & Young's advice might however, not necessarily get you to high and important places. It can also put you on the road of Harmony; the one that leads to the lost Garden of Eden.
