作曲 : Blitzstein

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 fans,

And for the louis armstrong fans, too

We told you look out, look out, look out

Old macheaths back in town
