"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" lyrics

"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)"
(originally by Duke Ellington)

[Intro]
Come, let's take the A train

[Verse 1]
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Don't mean a thing, all you got to do is swing

[Verse 2]
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Give it all the rhythm that you got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

[Instrumental Outro]
