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 oozing 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

Oh 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 daring 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

de de

Bah bah bah nop do bo de do

Just a jack knife has macheath dear

And do bo bo bo bo bo be do nop do no

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 daring fans

And for the louis armstrong fans too

We told you look out look out look out

Old macheaths back in town
