Lyrics

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop wop-doo-wah

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop wop-doo-wah

Makes no difference if it's cool or hot

'Cause you just got to give that rhythm everything you got

Now, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop

Well, it makes no difference if it's cool or hot

'Cause you just got to give that rhythm everything you got

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop

Doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop
