It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) (Album Version)

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom

When the jungle shadows fall

Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock

As it stands against the wall

Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops

When the summer shower is through

So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one

Only you beneath the moon or under the sun

Whether near to me or far

It's no matter, darling, where you are

I think of you

Night and day, day and night, why is it so

That this longing for you follows wherever I go?

In the roaring traffic's boom

In the silence of my lonely room

I think of you

Night and day, night and day

Under the hide of me

There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through

'Till you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day

Night and day

Under the hide of me

There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through

'Till you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day
