It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Milt Jackson, The Modern Jazz Quartet, John Lewis

It don’t mean a thing

If it ain’t got that swing

(doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah

Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

It don’t mean a thing

All you got to do is sing

(doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah

Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

It makes no diff’rence

If it’s sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm

Ev’rything you got

Oh, it don’t mean a thing

If it ain’t got that swing

(doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah

Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
