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 Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah! It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah! It makes no diff'rence if its sweet or hot Just give that rhythm ev'rything you've got! 'Cause it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah, Doo-wah!
