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?

Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music

There's something else that makes this tune complete, yes

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

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you got, yes

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, don't mean a thing

And all you got to do is sing, like

Nah, it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just you give that rhythm everything you got

Oh, don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't that-a, that-a swing-a
