You'll Have To Swing It (mr. Paganini) Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

The concert was over in Deutschland 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 

Mister 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

(scatting) 

Listen Paginini 

We breathlessly await 

Your masterful baton 

Go on and swing it 

And if you can't swing it 

You simply have to 

(scatting) 

We've heard your repertoire 

And at the final bar 

We greeted you with round 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 meany 

What have you up your sleeve 

Come on and spring it 

And if you can't spring it 

You simply have to 

(scatting) 

Listen Paginini 

Please play my rhapsody 

And if you cannot play it 

Won't you sing it 

If the boys are bopping 

Ain't no need to stopping 

(scatting) 

Listen Paginini 

We breathlessly await 

Your masterful baton 

Go on and swing it 

If the boys are bopping 

Ain't no need to stopping 

(scatting) 

Heard your repertoire 

And at the final bar 

We greeted you, we greeted you 

With round applause 

But what a great ovation 

Your interpretation 

(scatting) 

Listen Paginini 

Now don't you be a meany 

What have you up your sleeve 

Come on and spring it 

And if you can't spring it 

You simply have to swing it
