"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 possessing something sweet
It ain't the melody
It ain't the music
There's something else that makes this song complete
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 ev-ry-thing you got YES
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing
It 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
Now it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH
It don't mean a thing boy, if it ain't got-a-that-a-swinga
