Lyrics

Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife is all MacHeath did And he keeps it out of sight When the shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to shred Fancy gloves are all MacHeath did So there's never, never, never a trace of red On the sidewalk on a Sunday morning Lies a body, oh, moves it light Someone's sneaking around the corner Can it be, can it be old MacDee Nite? Oh, lots of folks down by the river, don't you know There's somebody who went solo Would you believe, could it be Oh, oh, Maggie, can it be Mac, MacDee Nite? Oh, Bobby Darin, Ella, Louis said, "Oh" They made a record, oh, of this song And now me and, me and the fellas We're gonna make, try not to break this baby's song Oh, here comes the verse and a chorus That I used to, I used to know, I knew it yesterday But I'm swingin' and I'm gonna bring it So no one ever, ever, ever, ever, ever knows Oh, we swung it, oh, we brung it Oh, we brung old, old, old MacDee down Oh, you fine folks here at the Paramount Can we bring a little big band back in town? Oh, can I do one more? Can I do just one more?
