Teach me how to sing
Music with a modern rhythm
Let me swing, Mr. Mendelssohn, swing

Smusic is a thing, that's not good without that rhythm
Sweet and hot, past the soul
So get yourself a little dash of hodie ho
And swing it, Mr. Mendelssohn
Swing it high, hey!
Swing it low, ho!

And swing it, Mr. Mendelssohn, swing

Ho ho da da da da, and swing it, Mr. Mendelssohn
Swing it Mr. Feel it Mendelssohn
A rodie doc and rodie doc a radie da

In my singing school, i am one of many
Oo its just so cool
Mr. Mendelssohn's had his day
(Can't understand it) here to stay
