Mack The Knife (Live At The Deutschlandhalle, Berlin/1960)
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 it seems 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 jackknife 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 Sunday, Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneakin' '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 the swinging tune, and it's a hit tune
So we try to do, Mack and I
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
We're making a wreck, what a wreck of Mack the Knife
Oh Snookie Taudry
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
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 Darin fans and for the Louis Armstrong fans, too
We told you look out, look out
Look out old MacHeath's back in town
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you
We'd like to do something for you now

Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife 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

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
