Mack The Knife (Live)

In the style of

Ella Fitzgerald

Lyrics

thank you, we'd like to do
something for you now

we haven't heard a girl sing it
and it 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 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 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
ba ba ba ba doom

ba ba de doom do do

saying, ba bo da yo da bo da

bo da yo da bo da

just a jack knife
has macheath, dear

and it do bo do
ba do be do um da ya um ba

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
