Karaoké (If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It Ella Fitzgerald

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 gallery way up high

There suddenly came this mournful cry

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

Booh beeh deeh dooh beeh dooh dweeh dooh eeh eeh doh ah, ah loh ah oh

Mister Paganini we breathlessly await

Your masterful baton go on and sling it

And if you can't sling it you simply have to

Bah, eeh, eeh, bah dooh booh beeh dooh beeh daw

Eeh yooh boh eeh yooh beeh dooh beeh dooh

We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you with wild applause

But what a great ovation your interpretation

Oh boh dooh beh deed beeh deeh beh deeh doh boh deeh beeh deh beeh

Eeh beeh deeh beeh hum dooh bah bouam dam dah oh

Mister Paganini now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it

And if you don't spring it that means you have to

Eeh, dooh dooh bah dooh pah pah peeh peeh

Deeh deeh deeh leeh deeh deeh dooh ding deeh deeh

Dleeh dooh deeh deeh dleeh oh deeh dah dah

Oh mister Paganini please play my rhapsody

And if you cannot play it won't you sing it

And if the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping

Ooh bah beeh tooh bah beeh teeh dah dah lah

Boh toh boh doh boh doh doh deh deh loh doh bah noh bah

Mister Paganini we breathlessly await

Your masterful baton go on and sing it

If the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping

A tisket

A tasket

I lost my yellow basket

Bop, beeh boh peeh pah dah yooh boh dooh beeh yooh beeh

Heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you with wild applause

What a great ovation your interpretation

Bah tooh looh yeah dooh wah dooh

Listen Paganini now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it

And if you don't spring it that means you'll have to

We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar

We greeted you we greeted you with wild applause

Oh but what a great ovation your interpretation

Bah beh dooh boh deeh beh deh beh boh boh beeh leh deh

Beeh deeh beeh boh boh beh eeh deeh dah dah dah noh

Mister Paganini now don't you be a meanie

What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it

And if you don't spring it that means you'll have to swing it
