Bobby Darin - Live From Las Vegas [compilation, live] (2005) by Bobby Darin (보컬) on maniadb.com

Johnny:
This town is full of guys
who think they're mighty wise
just because they know a thing or two.

Bobby:
You'll meet them night and day
strollin' up and down Broadway
telling of the wonders they can do.

Johnny:
Oh, sing it, Bobby boy!

Bobby:
I just did!

Johnny:
There's con men and there's boosters.

Bobby:
There's card sharks and crapshooters.

Johnny:
They congregate around the Metropole.

Bobby:
If I knew what that meant I would agree with him.
They wear flashy ties and collars.

Johnny:
Yes, but where do they get there dollars?

Both:
They all have got an ace down in the hole.

Johnny:
Yes, and some of them write
to the old folks for coin
and that is their ace in the hole.

Bobby:
And others have friends on the old Tenderloin
that's their old ace in the hole.

Johnny:
Why, they'll tell you of trips
that they're going to make
from Florida
to the North Pole.

Bobby:
The fact is their name would be mud
just like a chum playin' stud.

Both:
If they lost that old ace in the hole.

Johnny:
Oh, yes, now, some of them write
you'll find a lot of them write to the a€|

Bobby:
Just a minute, just a minute, let the man play his piano solo.

Johnny:
But, I want to sing tenor!

Bobby:
I don't really care if you sing ten or twenty minutes, after he's through playin' piano.

Johnny:
Listen too a€?em, I think I make it better than he does.

Bobby:
Well, that's the nastiest remark I've ever heard.

Both:
Listen now, if you don't like the way I sing, why don't you sing a€|
I think ...
Sing Melancholy Baby! Sing something! ...

Bobby:
Why they tell you of the trips
they're gonna make
over to Florida
all the way up to the North Pole.

Johnny:
Oh, it's sad, sad.

Bobby:
Volare!!

Johnny:
But, their names would be mud.

Bobby:
Like a chump playin' stud.

Both:
If they lost
that old ace
ace in the hole.

Bobby:
Have another drink.

Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
But a father's love will never fade away
Will never fade away

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, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there′s never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin′ life, eek
And someone′s sneakin′ ′round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There′s a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag′s just a′drooppin′ 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

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′s back!!
