Sarah Vaughan - Sophisticated Lady: The Duke Ellington Songbook Collection

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

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

It ain't the melody
It ain't the music
There's something else that makes the tune complete

Oh, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup
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 it ain't got that swing
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup

It makes no difference, if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Oh, it don't mean a thing
Everybody's got this thing

Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup, doo-hey
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup, doo-hey
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup, doo-hey
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup, doo-hey
Do-wup-do-wup, do-wup-do-wup
Do-wup-do-wup, do-wup-do-wup
Do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup-do-wup, do-woo
Do-wup, do-wup
