It Don’t Mean a Thing

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 everything you've 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, boy

Ba ba doo da da ba boo doo zee, ba boo zoo loo doo, ba zoo zee

I said, don't mean a thing

And all you got to do is sing like

La la, la la, la la, doo loo, doo doo, bee bee, do do do

Now it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you've got, oh

Don't mean a thing, boy

If it ain't got a-that a-swing-a

Uh boo, boo doo, boo boo, boo doo

Take it, Trummy
