It Don't Mean a Thing

It Don't Mean a Thing - Duke Ellington (艾靈頓公爵)/Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特朗)

What good is melody what good is music

If it ain't possessin' something sweet

Nah it ain't the melody and it ain't the music

There's something else that makes this tune complete

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

Well it don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you got

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

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

I said it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Nah it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm everything you got

Don't mean a thing boy if it ain't that a swing
