(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It - Ella Fitzgerald
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
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
Listen Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
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 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 that mean you have to
Listen Paganini
Please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it
If the boys is bopping
Ain't no need in stopping
Mr Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
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
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
That mean you have to
We 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 don't spring it
That mean you have to
Swing it
