作曲：Bertolt Brecht/Marc Blitzstein/Kurt Weill

Thank you thank you ladies and gentlemen

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 darling 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 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 darling fans and for the Louis Armstrong fans too

We told you look out look out look out old macheath's back in town
