Em           D        C           C7   B7 
What good is melody, what good is mu - sic 
 
Em           D         C           C7   B7 
If it ain't possessin' something sweet? 
 
Em           D       C            C7   B7 
It ain't the melody, it ain't the mu - sic -- 
 
        Em                   D        C        C7   B7 
There's something else that makes the tune complete. 
 
 
   Em            B+          Em7            Em6 
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing -- 
 
A7               D7               G6               C7  B7 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat. 
 
   Em            B+            Em7          Em6 
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing -- 
 
A7               D7               G6 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat. 
 
 
Dm7          G7                CM7/6             CM7 
It makes no diff'rence if that rhythm's sweet or hot, 
 
Em7            A7     D7             C7   B7 
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got. 
 
 
   Em            B+   Cdim   Em7   Cdim      Em6 
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing -- 
 
A7               D7               G6               Gdim 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, 
 
A7               Cdim                  G6 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-waaaa.
