Ella Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife lyrics
{spoken} thank you. wed like to do something for you now.
 We haven't heard a girl sing it. and since it's 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 there's 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, 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 trashElla Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife - http://motolyrics.com/ella-fitzgerald/mack-the-knife-lyrics.html
 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
