If You Can't Sing It, You'll Have to Swing It
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 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
Swing it
Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
Go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you simply have to
Swing it
We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of
I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
Would do
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
Swing it
Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
Go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you simply have to
Swing it
We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of
I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
Would do
