If you change your mind, I’m the first in line.  
Honey, I’m still free. Take a chance on me.

It’s the Best day ever! (Best day ever)  
It’s the Best day ever! (Best day ever)

I’m so busy got nothing to do, spent the last two hours just tying my shoe.  
Every flower every grain of sand, is reaching out to shake my hand.

It’s the Best day ever! (Best day ever)  
It’s the Best day ever! (Best day ever)

Other people wouldn’t like to hear you  
If you said that these are the best days of our lives  
Other people turn around and laugh at you  
If you said that these are the best days of our lives, of our lives

Those were the days, my friend!  
We thought they’d never end.  
We’d sing and dance, forever and a day!  
We’d live the life we choose.  
We’d fight and never lose, for we were young, and sure to have our way.

Woke early to the sound of thunder  
how far off I sat and wondered  
starting humming a tune from 1962  
Strange how the night moves  
when you don’t have that much to lose

Walking down an empty road  
I saw a man in old grey clothes - a stranger  
As I walked past he smiled at me  
and when I looked I realised the danger  
For his eyes they were so empty and cold  
something told me I was going to be rolled  
In my pockets only cents and dimes  
but then for them he’d gladly kill me

When the shark bites with his teeth dear  
Scarlet billows start to spread  
Fancy gloves though wears Mac-heath dear  
So there’s not a trace of red  
On the sidewalk Sunday morning  
Lies a body oozing life  
Someone’s sneaking 'round the corner  
Is the someone Mack the Knife

She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep,  
She’s got so much skill  
She’s so fascinating that you’re still there waiting  
When she comes back for the kill  
You’ve been slashed in the face  
You’ve been left there to bleed

The first cut is the deepest  
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest  
But when it come to being lucky she’s cursed  
When it come to loving me she’s the worst

Shot through the heart  
and you’re to blame.  
Honey, you give love  
a bad name!

The actors and jesters are here  
The stage is in darkness and clear  
For raising the curtain and no-one’s quite certain  
Whose play it is
