Everybody thinking
Thinking pretty hard
Everybody thinking
'Bout singing from the heart
If you want my opinion
It doesn't mean a thing
If you haven't got that
Ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing

Everybody workin'
Workin' pretty hard
Everybody workin'
At singing from the heart
If you want my opinion
It isn't worth a bean
If you ain't in posession
Of the ability to swing
Oh, the ability to swing

Dreams, take them away
Go it alone, honey Rome
Wasn't built in a day
But now it's a ruin
The joke is worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse
The ability to swing, Aw

Everybody talkin'
Talkin' pretty loud
Everybody lookin'
To stand out fron the crowd
Gonna break it to you Bucko
It doesn't mean a thing
If you ain't in posession
Of the ability to swing
Oh, the ability to swing

Friends, send them away
Go it alone, honey Rome
Wasn't built in a day
But now it's a ruin
The joke is worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse
The ability to swing, Aw

Each beat send me deeper under
Each beat send me more to sleep
Heart melts ice and heart spells danger
Don't hold your breath boy
'Cause it don't come cheap

Everybody lookin'
Lookin' pretty hard
Everybody lookin'
For a meaning in the art
Gonna give it to you straight boy
It doesn't mean a thing
If you haven't got that
Ability to swing, yeah

The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
