Lyrics for It Don't Mean a Thing

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing It makes no difference if its sweet or hot Just give that rhythm everything you got It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
