This document is the lyrics to the jazz song "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" by Duke Ellington. The song emphasizes that swing, rhythm, and style are more important than whether a song is sweet or hot. The lyrics repeat that "it don't mean a thing" unless you've "got that swing" through dancing, singing, and putting everything into the rhythm. A choir joins and repeats the main themes throughout the song.

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That No importa (si no se tiene ese swing)
Swing) ‐ Duke Ellington
It don’t mean a thing, if you can’t swing No importa, si no puedes bailar swing
Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa
Well, it don’t mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing Bien, no importa, todo lo que tienes que hacer es
Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa cantar
Makes no diff’rence if it’s sweet or hot No importa si es dulce o caliente
Give that rhythm ev’rything you´ve got Dale a este ritmo todo lo que tienes
It don’t mean a thing, all you gotta do is swing
Dooa doa doa doaa

It don’t mean a thing, if you ain’t got that swing
It don’t mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing
Makes no diff’rence if it’s sweet or hot
It don’t mean a thing, no, it don’t mean a thing
It don’t mean a thing, if you ain’t got that swing
