Song information

Artist: Kate Bush

Lyrics

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!

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, oh, johnny
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

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

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

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

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