It don't mean a thing, if you can't swing
Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing

All the time, right on time
Ev'ry day, ev'ry way
Makes no diff'rence, sweet or hot
Give that song, all you got
Sing it, sing it,
Doa, doa, o yeah, doa, allright, o yeah,
Sing the song, all day long
Doaa, o yeah
