Now firmly ensconced as the headlining act at the Capitol Royale, Bayou (Joshua Boone) sings this song to a packed house while dancers perform around him.
(Verse)
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
It's something else that makes the tune complete
(Chorus)
Oh, 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
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
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you've got
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
(Scat break)
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you've got
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
It don't mean a thing, just everybody sing
(Scat outro)
