Babalu Version

Oh, the shark, has pearly teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it, way out of sight
You know that shark bites with it's teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red

Oh Sunday, Sunday morning
Lies a body just woozin' life
Someone sneakin' round the corner
Tell me could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Or there's a tugboat, down by the river dont'cha know
With a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
That cement it's just there, it's there for the weight, dear
Oh Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now did hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Tell me could that boy have done somethin' rash?

Oh Bobby Darrin & Louis Armstrong
They made a record
Oh but they did
Now Mike & Marky with Lou
Riddley & Danny
Makin' a record
Oh what a rec of mack the knife

So you heard it
yes we swung
Oh we tried to
Yes, we sung it
You might not recognize it
For it's an Ella & babalu hit
Oh this tune called mack the knife
And so we leave you
From this bad cuba town
Where we chuck ole macky's
And we swung him down
For the Darrin fans
And for the Ella & Louis fans too
We told you look out look out look out
Ole Macky's back in town

Come Fly With Me Version

Oh, the shark, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has ole MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with its teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears ole MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never, never trace of red

Oh Sunday, Sunday morning
Lies a body just woozin' life
Someone sneakin' round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Oh, there's a tugboat down, down, down the river dont'cha know
With a cement bag, drooppin' on down
That cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Now five'll get ya ten ole Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Now MacHeath spends, just like a sailor
Tell me could that boy have done somethin' rash?

Ah Jenny Diver, oh Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Jenny Diver, oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yeah, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out ole Macky is back

More Version

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And keeps it way out of site
When that shark bites with its teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though wears our MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never ever a trace of red

On a sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body woozin' life
Someone sneakin' round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Oh, there's a tugboat down, it's down by the river dont'cha know
Where the cement bag drooppin' on down
That cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, ole Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Now MacHeath spends, he spends like a sailor
Could that boy have done somethin' rash?

Ah Jenny Diver, look out Sukey Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Wow, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back, he's back in town

Ah, Jenny Diver, oSukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Wow, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
I said look out ole Macky is back
