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

Swing it

I said swing it

Oh-oh-oh swing it

And don't ding it



Oh mister paganini, we breathlessly await

Your masterful d‚tente, go-o on and sling it

And if you can't sling it

You'll simply have to swing it

I said swing it

And scattywahwah

And wahdyscatla



We've heard your repertoire and

At the final bar

We've greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation

Your interpretation

Pat-scoodle-atty-doody yeah yeah yeah



Oh mister paganini, now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve, go on and spring it



And if you can't spring it, you'll simply have to

Swing it
