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 you simply have to |
Scat |
Listen Paganini |
We breathlessly await your masterful dtente |
Go on and sling it |
And if you can’t sling it you simply have to |
Scat |
We heard your repertoire |
And at the final bar |
We greeted you with wild applause |
But what a great ovation |
Your interpretation of: |
Â'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 |
Scat |
Listen Paganini, please play my rhapsody |
And if you cannot play it, won’t you sing it? |
If the boys is bopping |
Ain’t no need in stopping |
Scat |
Listen Paganini |
We breathlessly await your masterful dtente |
Come on and spring it |
If the boys is bopping |
Ain’t no need in stopping |
Scat |
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 |
Scat |
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 |
