Ella Fitzgerald Mr Paganini Lyrics

Mr Paganini Lyrics

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 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
Scat

Listen Paganini,
We breathlessly await your masterful
dtente
Go on and sling it
And if you can’t sling it you simply have
to
Scat

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
Scat

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

Listen Paganini,
We
breathlessly await your masterful dtente
Come on and spring it
If the
boys is bopping
Aint no need in stopping
Scat

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
Scat

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
