Lyrics

Come, let's take the A train

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

Don't mean a thing, all you got to do is swing

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot

Give it all the rhythm that you got

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

Written by: Duke Ellington, Irving Mills
