natalie cole and chaka khan - you'll have to swing it (mr. paganini) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1:]
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

[chorus:]
oh, 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
scat

[verse 2:]
listen, paganini
we breathlessly await
your masterful d’tente
go on and sling it

and if you can’t sling it
you simply have to
scat
we heard your repertoire
and at the final bar
we greeted you with wild applause
but what a great ovation

your interpretation of:
“i never cared much for moonlight skies
i never blinked back at fireflies”
would do

[chorus:]
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
scat

[verse 3:]
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
scat
listen paganini
we breathlessly await
your masterful d’tente
come on and spring it

if the boys is bopping
ain’t no need in stopping
scat

[verse 4:]
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
scat

[chorus:]
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
