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

Irving Mills, Duke Ellington

What good is music? What good is melody if it ain't possessin' something sweet?
It ain't the music, it ain't the melody
There's something else that makes the tune complete

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

It makes no difference if it's sweet or it's hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man, who could ask for anything more

Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him round my door, round my door!
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my man, who could ask?
Who could ask?
Who could ask for anything?
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
(Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)"
