It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing lyrics

What good is music,

what good is melody,

if it aint possessing something sweet.

It aint the music,

it aint the melody,

there's something else that makes that tune complete.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,

doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah.

It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing,

doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah.

Makes no difference if it's sweet or hard,

you just give that rhythm everything you got.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,

doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah.
