It Don`t Mean A Thing (If It Ain`t Got That Swing) — текст песни (Nina Simone)

Irving Mills, Duke Ellington

What good is melody, what good is music
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
