Mack The Knife Lyrics - Mack The Knife: Ella In Berlin - Ella Fitzgerald

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 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

POPULAR SONG: Post Malone - 'Circles' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Camila Cabello - 'Shameless' - LYRICS 

On a 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, 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, 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
