Lyrics

Yeah, swingin'!

Awww, growlin'!

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Bop-ba-deep-bop-bay-ta-ley-da-beep-bop-bay-ta-ley-da-lo

It don't mean a thing

All you gotta do is sing

Wa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-deet-deet-dey-ta-ley-ta-lo

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just keep that rhythm, give it everything you got

Say!

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Wa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-deet-deet-dey-ta-ley-ta-lo

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing

All you gotta do is sing

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just sing that thing, give it everything you got

Oh!

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

It don't mean a thing

All you gotta do is sing

Swing, gates!

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Just sing that thing, give it everything you got

It don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing

Hey, hey!

Wat-dat-doo

Wat-dat-doo wat-dat-doo wat-dat-doo

Wat-dat-doo

Awww, swingin'!
