| What good is melody?
|
| What good is music?
|
| If it ain’t possessing something sweet.
|
| It ain’t the melody,
|
| It ain’t the music,
|
| There’s something else that makes this song complete.
|
| It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| It don’t mean a thing all you got to do is sing,
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| It makes no difference if it’s sweet or high,
|
| Just take that rhythm,
|
| Give it everything you’ve got
|
| (Oh)
|
| It don’t mean a thing,
|
| All you’ve got to do is sing
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| If it ain’t got that swing (ain't got that swing)
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| Hey it don’t mean a thing
|
| all you’ve got to do is sing
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| It makes no difference if it’s sweet or high
|
| Just take that rhythm
|
| Give it everything you got,
|
| It don’t mean a thing,
|
| All you’ve got to do is sing
|
| (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah doo-ah, doo-ah,
|
| doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah,
|
| doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah,
|
| doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
|
| Be-do-be-do-bop woah! |
