Lyrics It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) [The Great Reunion] - Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) [The Great Reunion]

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 diff’rence 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
