Letra
[Verse 1]
What good is melody?
What good is music?
If it ain't possessin' somethin' sweet
[Verse 2]
Now it ain't the melody
And it ain't the music
There's somethin' else that makes this tune complete, Yes
[Verse 3]
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Well, it don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
[Verse 4]
It makes no difference if its sweet of hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got, Yes
[Verse 5]
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, boy
I said it don't mean a thing and all you got to do is sing like
[Verse 6]
Now It makes no difference if its sweet of hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got, ooh
It don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't got that swing
Written by: Duke Ellington, Irving Mills
