[length: 04:30]
[00:02.84]Thank you
[00:08.72]I thank you
[00:13.27]The concert was over in Carnegie Hall
[00:16.02]The Maestro took bow after bow
[00:19.42]He said, “My dear friends, I have given my all
[00:24.04]I’m sorry, it’s all over now”
[00:29.86]When from the balcony, way up high
[00:35.97]There suddenly came a mournful cry
[00:49.39]Mournful?
[00:52.88]Oh, Mr. Paganini
[00:58.82]Please play my rhapsody
[01:03.92]And if you cannot play it
[01:06.89]Won’t you sing it?
[01:11.48]And if you can’t sing it
[01:14.91]You simply have to
[01:18.16]
[01:25.70]Listen, Paganini
[01:28.66]We breathlessly await
[01:32.13]Your masterful baton
[01:35.06]Go on and sling it
[01:39.52]And if you can’t sling it
[01:43.55]You simply have to
[01:46.72]
[01:54.45]We heard your repertoire
[01:57.58]And at the final bar
[02:00.57]We greeted you
[02:03.06]With round applause
[02:08.17]But what a great ovation
[02:11.86]Your interpretation
[02:14.82]Of “I’ve never cared much for moonlit skies
[02:18.01]I never blink back at fireflies”
[02:21.05]Would do
[02:23.44]So, Paganini
[02:26.38]Don’t you be a meanie
[02:30.05]What have you up your sleeve?
[02:32.69]Come on and spring it
[02:37.22]And if you can’t spring it
[02:40.88]You simply have to
[02:44.06]
[02:48.73]Listen, Paganini
[02:50.88]Please play my rhapsody
[02:53.25]And if you cannot play it
[02:55.03]Won’t you sing it?
[02:58.27]If the boys are bopping
[03:00.47]Ain’t no need in stopping
[03:02.27]
[03:07.05]Listen, Paganini
[03:09.46]Now, don’t you be a meanie
[03:11.76]What have you up your sleeve?
[03:14.05]Come on and spring it
[03:16.36]If the boys are bopping
[03:18.62]Ain’t no need in stopping
[03:20.55]
[03:25.09]I heard your repertoire and
[03:27.83]At the final bar
[03:29.65]We greeted you, we greeted you with round applause
[03:34.24]But what a great ovation
[03:36.68]Your interpretation
[03:38.68]
[03:44.53]Listen, Paganini
[03:48.42]Now, don’t you be a meanie
[03:51.94]What have you up your sleeve?
[03:55.40]Come on and spring it
[03:59.18]And if you can’t spring it
[04:02.47]You simply have
[04:05.32]To swing it
