Lyrics Mack the Knife

Thank you, we'd like to do something for you now

We haven't heard a girl sing it and it since it's so popular

We'd like to try and do it for you

We hope we remember all the words

Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear

And he keeps it out of sight

Oh, the shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath dear

So there's not not a trace of red

On Sunday

Sunday morning

Lies a body oozin' life

Someone's sneaking 'round the corner

Tell me could it be could it be, could it be

Mack the Knife?

Oh, what's the next chorus?

To this song, now

This is the one, now

I don't know

But it was a swinging tune and it's a hit tune

So we tried to do

Mack the Knife

Ah, Louis Miller oh, something about cash

Yeah, Miller he was spending that trash

And MacHeath dear he spends like a sailor

Tell me, tell me, tell me could that boy do something rash

Oh, Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong

They made a record oh, but they did

And now Ella, Ella and her fellas

We're making a wreck what a wreck of Mack the Knife

Oh, Snookie Taudry ba ba ba ba doom ba ba de doom do do

Saying, ba bo da yo da bo da bo da yo da bo da

Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear

And it do bo do ba do be do um da ya um ba

So, you've heard it

Yes, we've swung it

And we tried to

Yes, we sung it

You won't recognize it it's a surprise hit

This tune called

Mack the Knife

And so we leave you in Berlin town

Yes, we've swung old Mack we've swung old Mack in town

For the Darin fans and for the

Louis Armstrong fans too

We told you look out look out, look out old MacHeath's back in town
