What good is mel- o- dy, what good is mu - sic If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
It ain't the mel - o- dy, it ain't the mu - sic --
There's something else that makes the tune com - plete.
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing --
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wah...
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing --
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat, doo-wah
It makes no diff'rence if that rhythm's sweet or hot,
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got. Oh,
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing --
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wah,
