It Don’t Mean A Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here it is, the go-go groove The words mean nothing if your feet don't move Although your rhythms just might bring It don't mean nothing if it ain't got that swing As you can see, my rhymes are swinging it And when the punchline comes, start singing It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing But not yet, wait 'til the time comes You'll know when the end of the rhyme comes Don't sit, kindly stand up And while you're singing it, pump your hand up People don't swing, then I'mma sway 'em Rhymes so sweet that you gotta okay 'em Hitting so hard that your meters are peaking Look at all the ladies on the dance floor freaking Look at them swing from right to left Now y'all be cool and save some breath Although your rhythm just might bring It don't mean nothing if it ain't got that swing [Chorus] It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop [Verse 2] It's the rhymes that make my name vernacular The star of the show, super spectacular And at times even called sensational Add a little swing to a dance situational Guaranteed to get the party pep I wonder where such a dope groove's been kept I'm swinging even harder than I used to Not a groove made that I can't get loose to MC city, hardcore capital [?] go-go rap-ital Like a [?], we gain momentum I'd really like to thank you for letting me present some Let y'all be a material witness to the go-go Now kick this jam that I call hardtack And swing should explain why the house gets wrecked Just like a wrecking ball, I'm wrecking it Pick up the mic and give the one-two-checking it Although your rhythms just might bring It don't mean nothing if it ain't got that swing [Chorus] It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop [Verse 3] I like swinging just as much as Tarzan I like fly women and drive big cars and You like the groove that swing's generating Ask me how I know, I can see you hyperventilating Some of y'all really think you got the swing of things But y'all ain't nothing but a bunch of dumb ding-a-lings Something you can swing on, I don't mean a vine See how I'm living, 'cause I always got the hype rhyme Don't be scared, let the rhythm guide ya Grab the hand of the girl beside ya No [?] but just follow the course She'll be [?] so I'll have to take her by force I must admit, it's really not the average type But you can't help but groove 'cause the beat's hype See, the go-go groove is forsaking If it doesn't get you grooving, then tell me why your body's shaking I'm out of control, mashing a breakdown Pump it up, y'all, here comes the shakedown Although your rhythms just might bring It don't mean nothing if it ain't got that swing [Chorus] It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, doo wop [Outro] Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Pump it up, now Don't mean a thing Pump it up Pump it up, now Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing Pump it up Pump it up, y'all
