if you can t sing it you ll have to swing it

Ella Fitzgerald

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 dâ??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
