If you ever meet the man named Paganini
An old man who carries an old violin
And he asks if you'd like to try that old instrument
Careful! Do not put it under your chin!
That old Paganini's been playing that violin
For over 200 years every day
And goodness knows there is just one way that he can stop
Find someone else who will take it and play.
Do not play that violin
Do not draw it near your chin
Do not give in. Don't begin. You can't win
You won't be able to stop
It's haunting and sweet (Don't play)
To try it's a treat (Don't play)
But take my advice (Don't play)
Or you'll pay the price (Don't play)
You will pay the price (Don't play)
It might not be nice (Don't play, Obey don't play!)
You'll be sorry
So that is the story of old Paganini
Believe it or not here's a warning to you
Watch out if you see him do not play his violin
Or it's the last thing that you'll ever do
So don't play. No. Don't play or else you'll pay
You'll pay and you'll pay
'Cause you'll play and you'll play
If you play you'll pay!
