Lyrics for 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 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 I said, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing 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 that a swing
