It Don't Mean A Thing (if it Ain't Got That Swing)

Ella Fitzgerald

Compositor: Duke Ellington / Irving Mills

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 diff'rence
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Ev'rything 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)
