歌詞

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
