Ella Fitzgerald Mack The Knife Lyrics

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

When the shark bites with his teeth,
dear Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears Macheath dear
So there's not a trace, not a trace of red

On a Sidewalk, on a 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 chorist to the song now?
This is the one now I don't know But if was a swinging tune
and its a hit too so we try 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

{Louis Armstrong imitation}
Oh Snookie Taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do
singing 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, 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
