You'll Have To Swing It (Mr. Paganini)

The concert was over in Carnagie 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 balcony way up high

There suddenly came a mournful cry

Oh 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 simply have to

Only only only only on Mr Paganini

We breathlessly await your masterful detente

Go on and sling it

And if you can't sling it you simply have to

We heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you with a round of applause

But what a great ovation your interpretation of

'I never cared much for moonlight skies

I never blinked back at fireflies' would do

So Paganini

Don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve

Come on and spring it

And if you can't spring it you simply have to

Listen Paganini

Please play my rhapsody

And if you cannot play it won't you sing it

If the boys are bopping ain’t no need in stopping

Listen Paganini

We breathlessly await your masterful detente

Come on and spring it

If the boys is bopping ain’t no need in stopping

I heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you we greeted you

With wild applause

But what a great ovation your interpretation of

Listen Paganini

Now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve

Come on and spring it

And if you can't spring it

You simply have to swing it
