It Don't Mean a Thing Lyrics

What good is melody?
What good is music?
If it ain't possessing something sweet.

It ain't the melody,
It ain't the music,
There's something else that makes this song complete.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing,
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)

It makes no difference if it's sweet or high,
Just take that rhythm,
Give it everything you've got
(Oh)
It don't mean a thing,
All you've got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)

*instrumental*

If it ain't got that swing (ain't got that swing)
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
Hey it don't mean a thing
All you've got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)

It makes no difference if it's sweet or high
Just take that rhythm
Give it everything you got,
It don't mean a thing,
All you've got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
Be-do-be-do-bop woah!
