Lyrics:

{spoken thank you. we'd like to do something for you now.

We haven't heard a girl sing it. and 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 a 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


{louis armstrong imitation

Oh snookie taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do

Bah bah bah nop do bo de do

Just a jack knife has macheath, dear

And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do {


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
