Duke Ellington
It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

(Scat)

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

(Scat)

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

(Scat)

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 sing that thing, give it everything you've got
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

(Instrumental break)

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 sing that thing, give it everything you've got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
