What good is music?
If it ain’t possessing something sweet

Well it don’t mean a thing all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if it’s sweet or hot

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

Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH
It don’t mean a thing boy, if it ain’t got a swing.
