Swing, swing
It don’t mean a thing
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, yeah!
It makes no difference
If it’s sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you got
Oh, it don’t mean a thing
If it ain’t got that swing

What good is melody
What good is music
It ain’t the melody, it ain’t the music
There’s something else
that makes the tune complete
It makes no diff’rence
If it’s sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you got
Oh, it don’t mean a thing
If it ain’t got that swing

Ain’t got that swing
Ain’t got that swing!

Swing, mean a thing now
Swing, mean a thing now

It don’t mean a thing
It don’t mean a thing
It don’t mean a thing
It makes no difference
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!
