You’ll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini)

Thank you!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
We'd like to do a number right about here
One that I've had so many requests to repeat
And it's an oldie and we hope you recognize it

The concert was over in Deutschland 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 can not play it
Won't you sing it?
And if you can't sing it
You simply have to

Listen Paganini
We breathlessly await
Your masterful baton
Go on and swing it
And if you can't swing it
You simply have to

We've heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with round applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation
Of "I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never blinked back at fireflies"
Would do

So Paganini
Don't you be a meany
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it
You simply have to

Listen Paganini
Please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it
Won't you sing it?
If the boys are bopping
Ain't no need to stopping

Listen Paganini
We breathlessly await
Your masterful baton
Go on and swing it
If the boys are bopping
Ain't no needin' stopping

Heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you, we greeted you
With round applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation

Listen Paganini
Now don't you be a meany
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it
You simply have to swing it

Yeah! Thank you! Whoo!
