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
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
