It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

[Intro]

Swing

[Verse 1]

What good is melody, what good is music

If it ain't possessin' something sweet

It ain't the melody, it ain't the music

It's something else that makes the tune complete

[Interlude]

I'm gonna start this beat again

(Alright)

Ah, that's right - now all I have to add is this

We be jammin' (Yeah)

Like this

Ah, that's right

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]

What good is melody, what good is music

If it ain't possessin' something sweet

It ain't the melody, it ain't the music

It's something else that makes the tune complete

[Chorus]

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

(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

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

(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

You just got to give that rhythm all you got

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

(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

Ow

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

You just got to give that rhythm all you got

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

(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

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

(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

It must be what it is
