Duke Ellington - It Don`t Mean A Thing (If It Ain`t Got That Swing)

What good is melody?
What good is music?
If it aint possessing something sweetNow it aint the melody
And it aint the music
Theres something else that makes this tune complete, YESIt dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing
Well it dont mean a thing all you got to do is singIt makes no difference if its sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH
It dont mean a thing boy, if it aint got-a-that-a-swinga(Ba boo ba doo)Show me
