"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" lyrics - DR. JOHN

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.
