Duke Ellington
It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)
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 swing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you've got
Man, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Sweet's Edison

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
