    My father was born in 33 and grew up to this music, as did I in the 80s. This was our bond.
    He's been gone for 23 years but not too far as we still jam to this.

    Lyrics
    Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
    And he shows them, pearly white
    Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
    And he keeps it out of sight
    When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
    Scarlet billows start to spread
    Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
    So there? s not a trace, mmm of red
    On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin', baby
    Lies a body, oozin' life
    Someone sneakin' around the corner
    Is the someone, Mack the Knife?
    From a tugboat, by the river
    A cement bag's drooppin' down
    Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear
    Bet you Mack, he's back in town
    Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared, dear
    After drawing out his cash
    And MacHeath spends like a sailor
    Did our boy do somethin' rash?
    Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
    Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown
    Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
    Now that Mack, he's back in town
    Take it, Satch

      Lots of concert performance films show audience shots. I don't see anything disrespectful about it, it just shows how much the audience appreciates it. By the time this was recorded, he was a giant, for both black and white, and all across the world. He had a tough start in life, but that wasn't uncommon in New Orleans in 1901, and he soared above it to become a legend. Don't be disappointed, be glad we had him and can still enjoy his talent!

    When I was a kid, I couldn't figure out how a guy with a voice like that could make a living as a singer. Obviously, he was primarily a trumpet player but listen closely. He hits those notes and his timing is perfect. On top of that, he infuses it with feeling and enthusiasm. Love you, Mr. Armstrong.

      But none of them were the original from Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera). By Berthed Brecht, try his version or perhaps Lotte Lenya's version (wife of Kurt Weill). These give the best feeling of 1920/30's Germany. An accurate modern version comes from Ute Lempe.

    Just to point out to those calling this a cover Louis Armstrong was the first to release this as a song in it's own right (having been in the Three Penny Opera before) and he certainly sang it long before Bobby Darin or Sinatra who then covered it so due respect to the origin of the song and remember it was released in '56 so tastes and arrangements were not quite what your current taste may be.

    She talked about how he came and sat down at the table with her group when he took a well deserved break from performing. She thought that he was so kind, funny, and polite.

    WOW!!! I find it amazing the nasty,evil, mean-spirited comments that ppl will post on social media....just awful....singing is all relative and left open to the listener's interpretation.....there are those that will love some singers voices while not liking others (MJ sold millions of records, but not everyone on the planet was a fan. Just because someone can hold a note does not mean that they can sing. a true singer is one who is blessed with charisma in their voice that will appeal to listeners n hold their attention....Louie Armstrong had a very unique singing voice and was an accomplished trumpet player...he is not talking the song he is singing the song....And he had far more than 2 hits...the man had a 40yr successful career and was one of the highest-paid entertainers of his time. not to mention that he did this as a black person during a time when segregation n racism was rampant.....Yes, ppl are entitled to express their opinion but to do it in such a nasty mean spirited disrespectful way is just uncalled for!!!

    Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
    And he shows them pearly white
    Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
    And he keeps it out of sight
    When the shark bites with his teeth dear
    Scarlet billows start to spread
    Fancy gloves though wears Macheath dear
    So there's not a trace of red
    On the side walk Sunday mornin'
    Lies a body oozing life
    Someone sneakin' round the corner
    Is that someone Mack the Knife
    From a tugboat by the river
    A cement bag's droppin' down
    The cement's just for the weight dear
    Bet'ya Mackies back in town
    Louie Miller disappeared dear
    After drawing out his cash
    And Macheath spends like a sailor
    Did our boy do something rash
    Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver
    Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
    Oh the line forms on the right dears
    Now that Mackies back in town
    Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
    And he shows them pearly white
    Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
    And he keeps it out of sight
    Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
    And he keeps it out of sight

I have a lot of nostalgic memories of driving through mountains and beautiful terrain. Now, I look at this song all I can think is damnnnnn, he got a sexy ass voice.
