(You'll Have To Swing It) Mr. Paganini(Live At The Crescendo, 1961) - Ella Fitzgerald

作词：Sam Coslow

作曲：Sam Coslow

The concert was over in Carnegie Hall

The maestro took bow after bow

He said My dear friends I have given my all

Im sorry its all over now

When from the gallery way up high

There suddenly came this mournful cry

Mr Paganini please play my rhapsody

And if you cannot play it wont you sing it

And if you cant sing it you'll simply have to

Mr Paganini we breathlessly await

Your masterful baton go on and sling it

And if you cant sling it you'll simply have to

We heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you with a round applause

But what a great ovation your interpretation of

a I never cared much for moonlight skies

I never blinked back at fireflies'

Would do

So Paganini don't you be a meanie

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 is bopping

Ain't no need in stopping

Listen Paganini

We breathlessly await your masterful dtente

Come on and spring it

If the boys is bopping

Ain't no need in stopping

I heard your repertoire and

At the final bar

We greeted you we greeted you

With wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation of

Listen Paganini

Now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve

Come on and spring it

And if you can't spring it you simply have to

Swing it
