Don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing
All you’ve got to do is sing

It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you got

Oh, it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing

[Scat singing: repeat from top]
[Instrumental]

Brothers and sisters, hear me yellin’
Listen to me while I’m tellin’
You won’t mean a thing
Without that swing

Come on you all, forget your sorrows
Please don’t wait until tomorrow
You won’t mean a thing
Without that swing
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you got

Brothers and sisters, hear me yellin’
Listen to me while I’m tellin’
You won’t mean a thing
Without that swing

It’ll never mean a thing
Without a swing
