You'll Have To Swing It (Mr. Paganini) - Pt. 1 & 2

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 simply have to

Mr. Paganini

We breathlessly await your masterful baton

Go on and sling it

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

We've heard your répertoire

And at the final bar

We greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation

Mr. Paganini, 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

Oh, Mr. Paganini, please play my rhapsody

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

And if the boys are 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

We heard your répertoire and

At the final bar

We greeted you with wild 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

What a great ovation

Your interpretation

Mister 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
