lyrics

He came walkin’ out the dark and on through the door
I was pluckin’ on a tune usin some minor chords
He had a white hat, white shoes and white coat
He said, “Boy I see you know the notes, but there's, somethin’ you need to learn, now granted your chops burn, but they be lackin’ soul and we all know.”
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
You can’t fake it, oh no, but I can help you make it, if you pay my fee, you see
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy
Now is you is or is you ain’t just fakin’?
I know for sure I shoulda hit the door, but he said he’d give me hands of an automaton
Get my groove locked on and I could rock on and on and on
I asked him what are your terms, he said the deal is standard
I’ll give your songs some soul in exchange for yours
I said I agree, now when you come see me, you’ll hear the whole crowd sing
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
I ain’t fakin, oh no, I’m just makin these strings sing because
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy
Now listen to me swing
That rock don’t ever stop. Like the great bambino, I just keep on swingin”
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing boy
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
Not a damn thing!
