[00:08.22] (Thank you!)
[00:11.51] (Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!)
[00:16.28] (Thank you!)
[00:18.13] (We'd like to do something for you now.)
[00:20.56] (We haven't heard a girl sing it.)
[00:23.00] (And since it's so popular, we'd like to try and do it for you.)
[00:27.87] (We hope we remember all the words.)
[00:33.40] Oh the shark has pearly teeth, dear
[00:40.17] And he shows them, pearly white
[00:47.07] Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
[00:53.62] And he keeps it out of sight
[01:00.01] Oh the shark bites with his teeth, dear
[01:08.01] Scarlet billows start to spread
[01:14.90] Fancy gloves though, wears Macheath dear
[01:20.76] So there's not, not a trace of red
[01:27.15] On a Sunday, Sunday morning
[01:34.77] Lies a body, oozin' life
[01:41.63] Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
[01:47.60] Tell me could it be, could it be, could it be
[01:51.34] Mack the Knife?
[01:54.35] Oh what's the next chorus, to this song, now
[02:01.61] This is the one, now I don't know
[02:08.02] But it was a swinging tune and it's a hit tune
[02:14.94] So we tried to do Mack the Knife
[02:21.69] Ah, Louis Miller, oh, something about cash
[02:29.69] Yeah, Miller, he was spending that trash
[02:35.88] And Macheath dear, he spends like a sailor
[02:42.30] Tell me, tell me, tell me could that boy do
[02:46.09] Something rash?
[02:49.65] Oh Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong
[02:56.47] They made a record, oh but they did
[03:02.77] And now Ella, Ella, and her fellas
[03:09.67] We're making a wreck
[03:11.89] What a wreck of Mack the Knife!
[03:16.37] Oh Snookie Taudry
[03:19.67] Bah bah bah nop do bo de do
[03:24.83] Singin', Bah bah bah nop do bo de do
[03:31.22] Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
[03:37.98] And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do
[03:43.90] So, you've heard it
[03:47.80] Yes, we've swung it
[03:50.89] And we tried to
[03:54.38] Yes, we sung it
[03:58.00] You won't recognize it
[04:02.48] It's a surprise hit
[04:05.44] This tune, called Mack the Knife
[04:11.36] And so we leave you, in Berlin town
[04:18.63] Yes, we've swung old Mack, we've swung old Mack in town
[04:25.92] For the Darin fans and for the Louis Armstrong fans, too
[04:32.59] We told you look out, look out, look out!
[04:35.32] Old Macheath's back in town!
[05:12.03] (Thank you!)
