It Don't Mean a Thing (If Itain't Got That Swing) - Nina Simone

[Choir:]

Doo do do, do do do-oo do, do do

Doo do do, do do do

Doo do do, do do do-oo do, do do

Doo do do, do do do

It don't mean a thing, if you can't swing

Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa

Well, it don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing

Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa

Makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or hot

Give that rhythm ev'rything you've got

It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is swing

Dooa doa doa doaa

[Choir:]

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

It don't mean a thing, no, it don't mean a thing

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

Yeah, doa, ooh, doa, ooh doa, oyeah

It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is swing

Well, doa, ooh doa, ooh doa (doa doa)

Makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or hot

Give that rhythm ev'rything you've got

It don't mean a thing, if you can't swing

It don't mean a thing, if you can't sing

Sing your song, all day long

All the time, right on time

Ev'ry day, ev'ry way

Makes no diff'rence, sweet or hot

Give that song, all you got

Sing it, sing it,

Doa, doa, o yeah, doa, allright, o yeah,

Sing the song, all day long

Doaa, o yeah
