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

Ella Fitzgerald · Dearly Beloved [2007]

"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 hot

Just give that rhythm

Everything you've got



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 hot

Just give that rhythm

Everything you've got

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 makes no difference

If it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm

Everything you've got

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

It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing

(doo-ah)

It makes no difference

If it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm

Everything you've got

Don't mean a thing all you've gotta do is swing

It don't mean a thing all you've gotta do is sing

It makes no difference

If it's sweet or hot

Give that rhythm

Everything you've got

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

(doo-ah, dooooo-aaaaah)

Don't mean a thing"
