lyrics

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

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
(Do-wah do-wah, do-wah do-wah,
do-wah do-wah, do-wah do-wahhhhhh.)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing.
(Do-wah ...)

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

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
(Do-wah ...)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing.
(Do-wah ...)

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