1. _ Mack The Knife
{spoken} 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
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 its 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
{louis armstrong imitation}
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

3. _ Goody Goody
so you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels, goody goody!
Well you gave her your heart too, just as i gave mine to you
And she broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night, goody goody!
And you found that loves a barrell of dynamite!
Hurray and halleluyah, you had it comin to ya
Goody goody for you! goody goody for me! ya i hope you're
Satisfied you rascal you!
Do you remember me sittin' all alone waitin' for the tinkle of the telephone?
Now the action jackson's turned right around, goody goody!
Yes you remember me, i was all for you, sittin' waitin' hoping like you told me
Too. now the action jackson's turned right around
So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
Hurray and halleluyah, you had it comin to ya.
Goody goody for her. goody goody for me. and i hope she tans your hide you
Rascal, i hope your satisfied you rascal. so goody good good for me you rascal
You!

8. _ Oh Lady Be Good
Listen to my tale of woe,
It's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev'ning i'm awf'ly blue.
I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out i know,
With somebody just like you. so...
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh, lady, be good to me
I am so awf'ly misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you i'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you i'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.
Oh lady be good to me.

I must win some winsome miss
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out i know,

Oh sweet and lovely,
Lady be good,
Oh lady be good to me.
I am so awf'lly misunderstood,
So lady be good, to me.
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city.
I tell you i'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good....to me.
Auburn and brunette and blonde:
I love 'em all, tall or small
But somehow they dont' grow fond;
They stagger but never fall.
Winte'rs gone, and now it's spring!
Love! where is thy sting?
If somebody won't respond,
I'm going to end it all.
So.....
Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh lady, be good to me!
I am so awf'ly misunderstood,
So, lady be good to me.
This is tulip weather -
So let's put two and two together.
I tell you
I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So, lady be good, to me.
Show version:
What a killing we could make;
Oh, lady, oh, please come through!
Susie, oh, for goodness' sake;
It isn't so hard to do.
In this moment of distress
Hear my s.o.s.
All my future is at stake,
And, susie, it's up to you,
So......
Oh sweet and lovely, lady be good,
Oh susie, be good to me.
I am so awf'lly misunderstood,
So susie, be good, to me.
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city.
I tell you i'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So susie be good....to me.
Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true,

So, lady be good, to me.
Oh, sweet and lovely wifey, be good.
Oh, wifey be good to me!
I've put an end to your widowhood
So wifey, be good to me.
We should be more clubby -
I hope you're glad to see your hubby.
Or else, dear,
I'll be a lonely babe in the wood,
Oh wifey be good to me.

9. _ I Can't Give You Anything But Love

10. _ That Old Black Magic
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
And down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that i feel
Inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down i go, round and round i go
Like a leaf that's
Caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can i do
I hear your name, and i'm aflame
Aflame with
Such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that i've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down i go,
All around i go
In a spin, loving the spin that i'm in
Under that old black magic called love

11. _ How High The Moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as i love you
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

12. _ It's Only A Paper Moon
I never feel a thing is real
When i'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a barnum and bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
