Mr. Paganini(Live) - 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

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 simply have to

Listen paganini

We breathlessly await your masterful d

Tente

Go on and sling it

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

We heard your repertoire

And at the final bar

We greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation of

'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 d

Tente

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
