Mack the Knife (03:20)
Robbie Williams • Swing When You're Winning
Mack The Knife

Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear,
And he shows them, pearly white,
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe,
And he keeps it, out of sight,

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear,
Scarlet billows start to spread,
Fancy gloves, oh, its old MacHeath, babe,
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, oh, Sunday morning, dontcha know,
Lies a body just oozin' life,
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner,
Could that be our boy, Mack the knife?

From a tug boat, down by the river, dontcha know,
There's a cement bag just dropping on down,
That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear,
Five'll get ya ten old Mack, he's back in town

D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller, he disappeared, baby,
After drawing out all, his hard-earned cash,
And now MacHeath spends, he spends just like a, like a sailor,
Could it be, could it be, could it be, our boy's done something rash?

Now Jenny Diver, oh Sukey Tawdry,
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown,
Yeah, the line forms on the right, babe,
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, woah, oh Sukey Tawdry,
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown,
Yeah the line forms on the right, babe,
Now that Macky's, back in town...

Look out, old Macky is back, wow!

Straighten Up and Fly Right (02:38)
Robbie Williams • Swing When You're Winning
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
The monkey thought that everything
was on the square.
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey
off his back,
The monkey grabbed his neck and said,
"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin',
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey,
You are chokin' me.
Release your hold and I'll set you free.
The monkey looked the buzzard right
dead in the eye and said,
Your story's so touching, but it sounds
just like a lie.

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin'
Ain't no good in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.

Fly right!

Mr. Bojangles (03:19)

Bojang,Bojangle
Bojang,Bojangle
Bojang,Bojangle
Bojang,Bojangle
Bojang,Bojangle

*whistle*

I knew a man
Bojangles and he'll dance for you
In wornout shoes

With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe

He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he'd lightly
touch down

Told me of the time he worked with
with Minstrel shows
travelling throughout the south

Spoke with tears for fifteen years
How his, How his dog and he
They would travel about

But his dog up and died
got up and died
And after twenty years he still grieves

He said I dance now and
every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips

But most the time I
I spend behind these county bars
You see son I,
I drinks a bit

Then he shook his head
Oh Lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard somebody say please, please

That`s Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance
And dance and dance, please dance

Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
ahhmm, Mister Bojangles

Come back and dance
And dance and dance, please dance
Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles

Ain't That a Kick in the Head (02:29)
Robbie Williams • Swing When You're Winning
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me.
Like a fella once said:
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"

The room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back.
Like a sailor said quote:
"Ain't that a hole in a boat?"

My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful.

I've sunshine enough to spread,
It's just like the fella said.
Tell me quick,
ain't that a kick in the head?

Like the fella once said:
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"

Like the sailor said quote:
"Ain't that a hole in a boat?"

My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful.

She's telling me we'll be wed,
She's picked out a king size bed,
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sad.

Tell me quick,
Oh, ain't that a kick...?
Tell me quick,
ain't that a kick in the head?

Have You Met Miss Jones? (02:35)
Robbie Williams • Swing When You're Winning
Have you met Miss Jones
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me

Then I said Miss Jones
You're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free.

And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky

Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I

And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky

Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I

Miss Jones and I

Beyond the Sea (07:45)
Robbie Williams • Swing When You're Winning
Somewhere, beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me...
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere, beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'll go sailing

It's far, beyond the stars
It's near, beyond the moon
I know... beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon...

We'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy we will be beyond the sea
And never again, I'll go sailing


I know, beyond a doubt...
My heart... will lead me there soon

We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we will be beyond the sea...
And never again, I'll go sailing

No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing
No more sailing

Goodbye, farewell, my friend
No more sailing
So long, sailin'
No more sailing

No more, farewell
Auf wiedersehen (to ya and ya and ya)

No more sailing
(No more) Oh, no more sailing

No more, no more
No more sailing...

No more
One more time

No more sailing...

Yeah
