| Artist | Nina Simone |

| 作曲 : Duke Ellington/Irving Mills | |
| Irving mills, duke ellington | |
| 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 | |
| It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing | |
| It makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or hot | |
| Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got | |
| It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing |
