Mr Paganini

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'll simply have to swing it
I said swing it
Oh, swing it
And don't ding it

Oh, 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 swing it
I said swing it
And skatti-wah-wah
And wah-di-skatt-la

We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation
Bop-shoo-doo-la-doo-doo-da-da-da-da

Oh, Mr. Paganini
Now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Go on and spring it
And if you can't spring it
You'll 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
Scat-la-di-plah-dah-plah-dah-day

Oh, Mr. Paganini
Now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Go on and spring it
And if you can't spring it
You'll simply have to swing it
