It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

Duke Ellington, Irving Mills

Wah-dah-doo
Wah-dah-doo
Wah-dah-doo, dah-dah-doo, dah-dah-doo

It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing
All you got to do is sing

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just keep that rhythm, give it everything you got
It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing

Wa-dah-dah-doo, da-da-doo, da-da-da-dohh
Shoop-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo, dah-dah-dooh

It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing
