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
|
|
Only, only, only, only on Mr. Paganini
|
We breathlessly await your masterful dA¨Ïtente
|
Go on and sling it
|
And if you can't sling it you simply have to
|
|
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 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
|
|
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
|
|
Listen Paganini
|
We breathlessly await your masterful dA¨Ïtente
|
Come on and spring it
|
If the boys is bopping ain't no need in stopping
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
