It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Makes no difference if its sweet or hard
Theres something else that makes that tune complete
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
What good is melody
What good is music
It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing
You just give that rhythm everything you got
If it aint possessing something sweet
Makes no difference if its sweet or hard
It aint the music
