It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) - Louis Armstrong/Duke Ellington
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 it don't mean a thing
And now you got to do that swing like
Nah it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Don't mean a thing boy
If it ain't got that a swing
