Duke Ellington - 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 possessing something sweet
Now 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 ev-ry-thing you got YES
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing boy
(Ba ba doo dah doo¦)
I said it don't mean a thing and all you got to do is sing
(La la la¦)
Now it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH
It don't mean a thing boy, if it ain't got-a-that-a-swinga
(Ba boo ba doo¦)
