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'll simply have to [Incomprehensible]
"Mr. Paganini, we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton, go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you'll simply have to [Incomprehensible]
We heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation, of your interpretation
I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
Would you
So, Paganini don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you simply have to [Incomprehensible]
"Oh, Mr. Paganini, please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, won't you sing?
Since the boys are boppin' ain't no need in stoppin' [Incomprehensible]
"Please, Mr. Paganini, we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton, go on and sling it
Since the boys are boppin' ain't no need in stoppin' [Incomprehensible]
We heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation, of your interpretation [Incomprehensible]
Paganini don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you simply have to
Swi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ing it
Mr. Paganini, Come on and swing it
