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 it, you simply have to
ย
Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful dรฉtente
Go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it you simply have to
ย
We heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with a round of applause
But what a great ovation, your interpretation of
I never cared much for moonlit 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
ย
Listen Paganini
Please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, won't you sing it?
If the boys are bopping, ain't no need in stopping
ย
Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful dรฉtente
Come on and spring it
If the boys is bopping ain't no need in stopping
ย
I heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you, we greeted you
With a round of applause
But what a great ovation, your interpretation
ย
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
(Thank you)
