Lyrics Thelonious Monk Plays The Music Of Duke Ellington: It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing - Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk Plays The Music Of Duke Ellington: It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing

If it ain’t possessin' something sweet
It ain’t the melody, it ain’t the music
There’s something else that makes the tune complete
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
It makes no difference if it’s sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev’rything you got
It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing
