Mrpaganini Lyrics - Royal Roost Sessions With Ray Brown Trio: 1948-1949 - Ella Fitzgerald

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 it you simply have to 

Scat 

Listen Paganini, 

We breathlessly await your masterful baton 

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 round applause 

But what a great ovation 

Your interpretation of: 

I'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 are bopping 

Aint no need in stopping 

Scat 

Listen Paganini, 

We breathlessly await your masterful baton 

Come on and spring it 

If the boys are bopping 

Aint no need in stopping 

Scat 

heard your repertoire and 

At the final bar 

We greeted you, we greeted you 

With round 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
