It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot,
you just give that rhythm everything you've got.
Oh it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing,
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
Makes no difference if it's sweet or hard,
you just give that rhythm everything you got.
What good is melody,
what good is music,
if it ain't possessing something sweet.
It ain't a melody,
it ain't a music,
there's something else that makes that tune complete.
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot,
you just give that rhythm everything you've got.
Oh it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
ain't got that swing, ain't got that swing
ain't got that swing,swing,swing
don't mean a thing,don't mean a thing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot,
you just give that rhythm everything you've got.
