It Don't Mean A Thing

(Duke Ellington/Irving Mills)

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
(Scat)

Makes no difference if it's cool or hot
'Cause you just got to give that rhythm everything you've got

Now it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Scat)

Well it makes no difference if it's cool or hot
'Cause you just got to give that rhythm everything you've got

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Scat)
