21.My Way(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
'Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way'
For what is a man, what has he got？
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who
kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
22.You Will Be My Music(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
When all the songs are out of tune,
And all the rhymes ring so untrue;
When I don't find the words to say -
The thoughts I long to bring to you;
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me -
Making noise, not melody：
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I'll never find the song to tell me
All the things I need to say.
And I'm afraid as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away.
And I'll be lost in trying
For songs I'll never sing.
Wanting you is everything：
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I can't wait any longer for my song.
23.I've Got You Under My Skin(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself： this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin？
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear：
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win？
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear：
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win？
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality？
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
24.Send In The Clowns(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent,
oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the
man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen
Sondheim.
Isn't it rich？ Are we a pair？
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss？ Don't you approve？
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns？ Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
Nobody's there
Don't you love a farce？ My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns？ Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Isn't it rich？ Isn't it queer？
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns？ Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year
25.That's Life(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy
it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
My, my!
26.Bows - 'My Way'(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out

27.There Used To Be A Ballpark(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
And there used to be a ballpark where the field was warm and
green
And the people played their crazy game with a joy I'd never seen
And the air was such a wonder from the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used a ballpark right here
And there used to be rock candy and a great big Fourth of July
With the fireworks exploding all across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder, how they'd laugh and how
they'd cheer
And there used to be a ballpark right here
Now the children try to find it
And they can't believe their eyes
'cause the old team just isn't playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly this year
Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here
28.My Kind Of Town(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratef'lly
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
29.Bows - 'My Way'(2)(Live At Carnegie Hall, April 8, 1974)
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear

30.Overture：It Was A Very Good Year ／ All The Way ／ My Kind Of
Town(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
31.The Lady Is A Tramp(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12,
1974)
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theatre, and never comes late
She never bothers, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's oak
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets too hungry, to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre, but never comes late
She'd never bother, with people She'd hate
Thats why the Lady is a Tramp
She'll have no crap games, with Sharpie's and Fraud's
And she won't go to Harlem, in Lincoln's or Ford's
And she won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the broads
That's why the Lady is a Tramp
She loves the free, fresh, wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's oak
Hates California, it's so cold, and so damp
That's why the Lady, That's why the Lady
That's why the Lady is a Tramp
32.I Get A Kick Out Of You(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12,
1974)
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you？
Some, they may go for cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see
You standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do.
Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of
you.
33.What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life ？(Live At Madison Square
Garden, October 12, 1974)
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life？
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
34.Bad, Bad Leroy Brown(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12,
1974)
Now the south side of Chicago is (it's) the baddest part of town
And if you (you're gonna) go down there, you better (just)
beware
Of a man (cat) named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy (Brown) he's trouble, and he stands about six feet
four
All the downtown ladies call him：'treetop lover,' the studs they
call him：'Sir'
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown, meanest (baddest) man (cat) in
the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong and (he's) meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he's a gambler, and he likes (digs) his (those) fancy
clothes
He likes to wave his (that) (great big ／ big fat) (shinny)
diamond ring(s)
Under (In front of) everybody's nose
He's got a custom Continental, he's got an El Dorado too
He's got a 22 (32) gun in his pocket for fun
He's got a razor in his (the razor in the) shoe
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown, meanest (baddest) man (cat) in
the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong, and (he's) meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Friday - 'bout a week ago, Leroy shootin' dice
And at the end (edge) of the bar, sat (was) a lady (chick) named
Dorris (Morris)
Man she sure looked nice
And (Well／Then) he laid his eyes upon her,
That's when the big scene (trouble soon) began
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife
of a jealous man
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown, meanest (baddest) man (cat) in
the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong, (and) (he's) meaner that a junkyard
dog
35.Let Me Try Again(Laisse Moi Le Temps)(Live At Madison Square
Garden, October 12, 1974)
I know I said that I was leaving,
But I just couldn't say good-bye.
It was only self-deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything in life to you.
You learn from every lonely day
I've learned and I've come back to stay.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Please let me try again.
I was such a fool to doubt you,
To try to go it all alone.
There's no sense to life without you.
Now all I do is just exist
And think about the chance I've missed.
To beg is not an easy task,
But pride is such a foolish mask.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Please let me try again.

38.Monologue(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
39.Autumn In New York(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting？
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel
They're making me feel I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
40.If(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
41.I've Got You Under My Skin(Live At Madison Square Garden, October
12, 1974)
I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself： this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin？
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear：
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win？
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear：
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win？
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality？
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
42.Angel Eyes(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The laugh and the drinks on me
Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear
43.The House I Live In(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12,
1974)
What is America to me？
A name, a map, or a flag I see？
A certain word, 'democracy'？
What is America to me？
The house I live in, a plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher, and the people that I meet
The children in the playground, the faces that I see
All races and religions, that's America to me
The place I work in, the worker by my side
The little town or city where my people lived and died
The 'howdy' and the handshake, the air of feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out, that's America to me
The things I see about me, the big things and the small
The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall
The wedding in the churchyard, the laughter and the tears
The dream that's been a-growin' for a hundred and fifty years
The town I live in, the street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city, or a garden all in bloom
The church, the school, the clubhouse, the millions lights I see
But especially the people
That's America to me
44.You Are The Sunshine Of My Life(Live At Madison Square Garden,
October 12, 1974)
You are the sunshine of my life, that's why I'll always be
around
You are the apple of my eye, forever you'll stay (be) in my
heart
I know that this is the beginning, Though I loved you for one
million years
But if I thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drowning
in my own tears
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around, you are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely, because you came to my
rescue
And though I know that this is heaven, how could so much love be
inside of you
You are the sunshine of my life, that's why I'll always be
around
You are the apple of my eye, forever you'll stay (be) in my
heart
('Cause you are) You are the sunshine - of my life
(Of my life, of my life) (Light my fire baby, light my fire,...)
45.My Way(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
'Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way'
For what is a man, what has he got？
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who
kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
46.Bows - 'My Way'(Live At Madison Square Garden, October 12, 1974)
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed, and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that

'Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way'
For what is a man, what has he got？
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
47.Fly Me To The Moon(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words
In other words
I love you
48.Luck Be A Lady(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
they call you lady luck
but there is room for doubt
at times you have a very unladylike way
of running out
you're on this date with me
the pickin's have been lush
and yet before this evening is over
you might give me the brush
you might forget your manners
you might refuse to stay
and so the best that I can do
is pray
luck be a lady tonight
luck be a lady tonight
luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
luck be a lady tonight
luck let a gentleman see
how nice a dame you can be

49.This Is All I Ask(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my
life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask, this is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom
understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has
flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than Spring
50.Come Rain Or Come Shine(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
51.Monologue(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
52.My Way(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
'Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way'
For what is a man, what has he got？
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who
kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
53.Teach Me Tonight(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn, well don't think I'm
trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it, getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it, teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you, a nd if a shooting star
goes by
I'll use that star to write 'I love you', a thousand times
across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love, teachers shouldn't stand so
near my love
Graduation's almost here my love, you'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two, and I've also met a
chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two, hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it, kind of think I should
know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it, hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping when there's no one
there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate, what I feel is hard to
articulate
If you want me to matriculate, you'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons, teach me - come on and teach me -
teach me tonight
54.Pennies From Heaven(Live At Carnegie Hall, June, 1984)
Every time it rains, it rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder dont run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
Trade ithem for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
55.For Once In My Life(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, someone I've
needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, and somehow I
know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's
hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me, and I'm not
alone anymore
For once I can say： 'This is mine you can't take it'
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
56.Strangers In The Night(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
(Instrumental Break)
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away.
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
57.Monologue(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
58.Mack The Knife(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
Hey, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear
And he keeps it, way out of sight
when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves, has Mac Heath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning,
Lies a body, oozing' life,
Someone's sneaking', 'round that corner
Could that someone perhaps per chance be Mack the Knife？
From the tugboat, on a river going slow
A cement bag's dropping down
You know, that cement is for the weight, dear
You can make a large bet that bums in town
(Yeah he's in town)
My man Louie Miller
he split the scene babe,
After drawing' out all the bread from his stash
Now Mac Heath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose this guy he did something rash？
Old' Satchsmoke, Louie Armstrong, Bobby Daron
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes here ain't gonna add anything new
(oh yes you do)
But with this big, fat, band jumping behind me
Swinging hard Jack (That's Jimmy)
I know I cant loose, When I tell you
All about Mack the Knife, babe
It's an offer you can never refuse
We've got Patrick William,
Bill Miller playin' that piano
And this wonderful, great, big, band
bringin' up the rear
all these bad cats, in this bad town
they make the greatest sound you ever gonna here
Oh Sukey Tawdry, (Oh Sukey Tawdry)
Jenny Diver, (Jenny Diver)
Polly Peaches (I know her well) Ms Lulu Brown
Yeah, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack he
(Oh Mack he)
Yeah that bum is back
(Oh that bum he's back)
And I'm gonna tell you
what I think that you should know
(What should I do)
You better lock your door
And call the law
Because Mack he
he's come back to town
Get under the bed hide
(Look out old Mack is back)
59.Summer Wind(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair - and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that
golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never
end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
60.Theme From New York, New York(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June,
1990)
Start spreadin' the news, i'm leavin' today. I want to be a part
of it
New York, New York.
These vagabon shoes, are longing to stray, right through the
very
heart of it, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep. And find i'm
King of the
Hill, Top of the Heap.
These little-town blues, are melting away. I'll make a brand new
start
of it in old New York. If I can make it there, i'll make it
anywhere.
Its up to you New York, New York.
New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never
sleeps.
And find i'm A-number-1, top of the list. King of the Hill,
A-number-1.
These little town blues, are melting away. I'm gonna make a
brand new
start of it, in old New York. And, if I can make it there, i'm
gonna make
it anywhere.
It's up to you New York, New York. New York!
61.Bows 'Good - Bye'(Live At Radio City Music Hall, June, 1990)
I'll never forget you I'll never forget you
I'll never forget how we promised one day
To love one another forever that way
We said we'd never say good-bye
But that was long ago
Now you've forgotten I know
No use to wonder why
Let's say farewell with a sigh let love die
But we'll go on living our own way of living
So you take the high road and I'll take the low
It's time that we parted it's much better so
But kiss me as you go good-bye
But that was long ago
Now you've forgotten I know
No use to wonder why
Let's say farewell with a sigh let love die
But we'll go on living our own way of living
So you take the high road and I'll take the low
It's time that we parted it's much better so
But kiss me as you go good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
