It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) by Duke Ellington

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

(La la la…)
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
Doo Wap
