The concert was over in concert and hall
The maestro took bow after bow
I said it wrong, I goofed
The concert was over in concert and ball
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
Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await
Your masterful baton
Go on and swing it
And if you can't swing it
You simply have to
We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with round applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation
Well, I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
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 baton
Go on and swing it
If the boys are bopping
Ain't no need in stopping
We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you, we greeted you with round applause
What a great ovation
Your interpretation
Well, I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
Listen, Paganini
Now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and swing it
And if you can't swing it
You simply have to swing it
