1
Thank you, thank you ladies and gentlemen
2
Thank you, we'd like to do something for you now
3
We haven't heard a girl sing it and since it's so popular
4
We'd like to try and do it for you
5
We hope we remember all the words
6
Oh the shark has pearly teeth, dear
7
And he shows them, pearly white
8
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
9
And he keeps it out of sight
10
Oh the shark bites with his teeth, dear
11
Scarlet billows start to spread
12
Fancy gloves though, wears Macheath dear
13
So there's not, not a trace of red
14
On a Sunday, Sunday morning lies a body, oozin' life
15
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
16
Tell me could it be, could it be, could it be
17
Mack the Knife?
18
Oh what's the next chorus, to this song, now
19
This is the one, now I don't know
20
But it was a swinging tune and it's a hit tune
21
So we tried to do Mack the Knife
22
Ah, Louis Miller, oh, something about cash
23
Yeah, Miller, he was spending that trash
24
And Macheath dear, he spends like a sailor
25
Tell me, tell me, tell me could that boy do, something rash?
26
Oh Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong
27
They made a record, oh but they did
28
And now Ella, Ella, and her fellas
29
We're making a wreck, what a wreck of Mack the Knife
30
Oh Snookie Taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do
31
Bah bah bah nop do bo de do
32
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
33
And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do
34
So, you've heard it, yes, we've swung it
35
And we tried to, yes, we sung it
36
You won't recognize it, it's a surprise hit
37
This tune, called Mack the Knife
38
And so we leave you, in Berlin town
39
Yes, we've swung old Mack, we've swung old Mack in town
40
For the Darin fans and for the Louis Armstrong fans, too
41
We told you look out, look out, look out old Macheath's back in town
