Irving mills, duke ellington
What good is melody, what good is music
If it aint possessin something sweet
It aint the melody, it aint the music
Theres something else that makes the tune complete
It dont mean a thing, if it aint got that swing
It dont mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no diffrence if its sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm evrything you got
It dont mean a thing, if it aint got that swing
