Refrain:
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing,
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
It don’t mean a thing, all you gotta do is swing,
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah
Makes no difference if it’s sweet or hard
You just give that rhythm everything you got
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing,
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wab
Doo-wab-di-wab doo-wab-di-wah

What good is music? What good is melody
If it aint possessing something sweet?
It ain’t the music. It ain’t the melody,
Theres something else that makes that tune complete
[Refrain]
