The concert was over in Carnagie 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 gallery way up high
There suddenly came this mournful cry...

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...
[Scat]

Mister Paganini,
We breathlessly await your masterful baton.
Go on and sling it.
And if you can't sling it, you'll simply have to...
[Scat]

We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with round applause.
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of...
[Scat]

So, Mr. 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, that means you'll have to ...
[Scat]

Mister Paganini, please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, wont you sing it?
If the boys are bopping
Aint no need in stopping
[Scat]

Mister Paganini,
We breathlessly await your masterful baton.
Go on and sling it.
If the boys are bopping
Aint no need in stopping.
A ticket, a tasket, I lost my yellow basket.
[Scat]

We've heard your repertoire and
At the final bar
We greeted you with round applause.
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of...
[Scat]

[slows back down]
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'll simply have to...

[quick again]
We've heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with round applause.
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation...
[Scat]

[slows back down]
Mr. 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, that means you'll have to...
Swing it!
