Recorded: December 19, 1958 Released: August 1959 The #5 song of the 1955-59 Rock Era Was #1 for 9 weeks in 1959 14th most popular single in Billboards HOT 100 History. Bobby's first (and only) number one song Won the Grammy for "Record of the Year" in 1959

Mack the knife (song) was put on Bobby Darin's first album titled "That's All" it wasn't expected too do well however this particular song changed Bobby Darin's entire life.

Here are the lyrics to the song

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!!
