It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

What good is melody

What good is music

If it ain't possessin' something sweet

It ain't the melody

It ain't the music

There's something else that makes that tune complete

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing

All you got to do is sing

Makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you got

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you got

Don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Mr. Drummer, won't you give me everything you got

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah
