Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
If you are my opinion
It doesn't mean a thing
If you haven't got that
Ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing
Everybody working
Working pretty hard
Everybody working
At singing from the heart
If you are my opinion
It isn't worth a bean
If you ain't in possession
The ability to swing
Oh, the ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing
Dreams, take them away
And go it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built
In a day, but now it's a ruin
The jokers want a thing
And it isn't cool
To abuse the ability
To swing
Everybody talking
Talking pretty loud
Everybody looking
To stand up from the crowd
Gonna break it to you, bucko
It doesn't mean a thing
If you ain't in possession
Of the ability to swing
Oh, the ability to swing
Friends, send them away
And go it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built
In a day, but now it's a ruin
The jokers want a thing
And it isn't cool
To abuse the ability to swing
Oh
Oh, the ability to swing
And go it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built
In a day, but now it's a ruin
Each beat send me more to sleep
Heart melts ice and heart spells danger
Don't hold your breath, why?
Cause it don't come cheap
Everybody lookin', lookin' pretty hard
Everybody lookin' for a meaning in my art
Gonna give it to you straight, boy
It doesn't mean a thing
If you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
Yeah
You're ready to swing
You're ready to swing
