[Nina Simone - It Don’t Mean A Thing lyrics]
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
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
