Violin

Violin

Four strings across the bridge,
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra

Filling me up with the shivers
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers
Filling me up with the shivers

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Paganini up on the chimney,
Lord of the dance,
With Nero and old Nicky
Whack that devil
Into my fiddlestick!
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s,
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s

Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!
