If You Can't Sing It You'll Have To Swing It

If You Can't Sing It You'll Have To Swing It - Ella Fitzgerald

Mister 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

Swing it

I said swing it

Oh-oh-oh swing it

And don't ding it

Oh mister paganini we breathlessly await

Your masterful d‚tente go-o on and sling it

And if you can't sling it

You'll simply have to swing it

I said swing it

And scattywahwah

And wahdyscatla

We've heard your repertoire and

At the final bar

We've greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation

Pat-scoodle-atty-doody yeah yeah yeah

Oh mister paganini now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve go on and spring it

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

Swing it

We've heard your repertoire and

At the final bar

We've greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation

Pat-scoodle-atty-doody

Oh mister paganini now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve go on and spring it

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

Swing it
