So we tried to do Mack the Knife
This is the one, now I don't know
Mack the Knife?
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
Tell me, tell me, tell me could that boy do, something rash?
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
This tune, called Mack the Knife
Fancy gloves though, wears Macheath dear
And he shows them, pearly white
And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do
Tell me could it be, could it be, could it be
Bah bah bah nop do bo de do
We haven't heard a girl sing it and since it's so popular
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
We hope we remember all the words
But it was a swinging tune and it's a hit tune
You won't recognize it, it's a surprise hit
Scarlet billows start to spread
We're making a wreck, what a wreck of Mack the Knife
And we tried to, yes, we sung it
For the Darin fans and for the Louis Armstrong fans, too
They made a record, oh but they did
Oh Snookie Taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do
Ah, Louis Miller, oh, something about cash
And so we leave you, in Berlin town
And Macheath dear, he spends like a sailor
And now Ella, Ella, and her fellas
Oh the shark bites with his teeth, dear
We'd like to try and do it for you
Oh Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong
Oh the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
Oh what's the next chorus, to this song, now
Yeah, Miller, he was spending that trash
So, you've heard it, yes, we've swung it
Yes, we've swung old Mack, we've swung old Mack in town
So there's not, not a trace of red
On a Sunday, Sunday morning lies a body, oozin' life
