Mack The Knife lyrics
{spoken thank you. wed like to do something for you now.
We havent heard a girl sing it. and since its so popular,
Wed 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 theres not, not a trace of red
On a sunday, sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin life
Someones sneaking round the
corner
Tell me could it be, could it be, could it be
Mack the knife?
Oh, whats the next chorus?
To this song, now
This is the one, now
I dont know
But it was a swinging tune
And its 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
Were 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, youve heard it
Yes, weve swung it
And we tried to
Yes, we sung it
You wont recognize it
Its a surprise hit
This tune, called mack the knife
And so we leave you, in berlin town
Yes, weve swung old mack
Weve swung old mack in town
For the darin f
ans,
And for the louis armstrong fans, too
We told you look out, look out, look out
Old macheaths back in town
