It don`t mean a thing if it ain`t got that swing.
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It don`t mean a thing, all you got to do is sing,
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It makes no diff`rence if it`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-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
