Mac the Knife. The most popular version was done by Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, back in the early 50's for the big bands and then covered for the rock and roll set in the late 50's. There have been several other versions, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior and Louis Armstrong all recorded the song

Answer 3

Mack the Knife. The most popular version is by Bobby Darin. I think it was originally from a musical but I'm not 100% sure of the title. For some reason Three Penny Opera is what's popping up in my brain.

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin is most famous for singing it but it was also recorded by Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin.

There's a pretty good history of the song and its origins on wikipedia

Answer 5

Mack the Knife Bobby Darin
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it … ah … out of sight.



Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe

So there’s nevah, nevah a trace of red.



Now on the sidewalk … uuh, huh … whoo … sunny mornin’ … uuh, huh

Lies a body just oozin' life … eeek!

And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?



A-there's a tugboat … huh, huh, huh … down by the river don’tcha know

Where a cement bag’s just a'droopin' on down

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear

Five'll get ya ten old Macky’s back in town.



Now, d'ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?



Now … Jenny Diver … ho, ho … yeah … Sukey Tawdry

Ooh … Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky’s back in town.



Aah … I said Jenny Diver … whoa … Sukey Tawdry

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky’s back in town …


Look out … old Macky is back!!
