(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini) 歌詞
(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini) - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨傑拉德)
The concert was over in Carnegie Hall
The maestro took bow after bow
He said "My dear friends I have given my all
I'm sorry it's all over now"
When from the gallery way up high
There suddenly came this mournful cry
"Mr Paganini please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it
And if you can't sing it you'll simply have to
"Mr Paganini we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it
You'll simply have to
We heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with a round applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation
"Mr Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve Come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you'll have to
"Mr Paganini please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it
And if the boys is bopping ain't no need in stopping
"Mr Paganini we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton go on and sling it
If the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping"
A Tisket a tasket
I lost my yellow basket
We heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with a round applause
What a great ovation your interpretation
"Listen Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve Come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you have to"
We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you we greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation your interpretation
"Mr Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve Come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you have to swing it"
