What good is melody? What good is music? If it ain't possessing something sweet It ain't the melody It ain't the music There's something else that makes this song complete t 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 ev-ry-thing you got YES It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing It don't mean a thing It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing boy I said it don't mean a thing and all you got to do is sing Now it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH It don't mean a thing boy, if it ain't got-a-that-a-swinga
