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!
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
