It Don't Mean a Thing - Ella Fitzgerald, Paul Smith, Paul Smith

If it ain’t possessin' something sweet

It ain’t the melody, it ain’t the music

There’s something else that makes the tune complete

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

It don’t mean a thing, all you got to do is sing

It makes no diff’rence if it’s sweet or hot

Just give that rhythm ev’rything you got

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