(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It

In the style of

Ella Fitzgerald

Lyrics

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 gallery
way up high

there suddenly came
this 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

booh beeh deeh dooh beeh
dooh dweeh dooh eeh

eeh doh ah, ah loh ah oh

mister paganini
we breathlessly await

your masterful baton
go on and sling it

and if you can't sling it

you simply have to

bah, eeh, eeh, bah dooh
booh beeh dooh beeh daw

eeh yooh boh
eeh yooh beeh dooh beeh dooh

we've heard your repertoire
and at the final bar

we greeted you
with wild applause

but what a great ovation

your interpretation

oh boh dooh beh deed
beeh deeh beh deeh

doh boh deeh beeh deh beeh

eeh beeh deeh beeh
hum dooh bah

bouam dam dah oh

mister 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 means you have to

eeh, dooh dooh bah dooh

pah pah peeh peeh

deeh deeh deeh leeh deeh
deeh dooh ding deeh deeh

dleeh dooh deeh
deeh dleeh oh deeh dah dah

oh mister paganini
please play my rhapsody

and if you cannot play it
won't you sing it

and if the boys are bopping

ain't no need in stopping

ooh bah beeh tooh
bah beeh teeh dah dah lah

boh toh boh doh boh doh doh
deh deh loh doh bah noh bah

mister paganini
we breathlessly await

your masterful baton
go on and sing it

if the boys are bopping

ain't no need in stopping

a tisket
a tasket

i lost my yellow basket

bop, beeh boh peeh
pah dah yooh boh

dooh beeh yooh beeh

heard your repertoire and
at the final bar

we greeted you
with wild applause

what a great ovation
your interpretation

bah tooh looh yeah dooh
wah dooh

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 means you'll have to

we've heard your repertoire
and at the final bar

we greeted you we greeted you
with wild applause

oh but what a great ovation

your interpretation

bah beh dooh boh deeh beh
deh beh boh boh beeh leh deh

beeh deeh beeh boh boh beh
eeh deeh dah dah dah noh

mister 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 means you'll have

to swing it
