Bobby Darin sings
"Mack the Knife" (1970)


Don't go out for a jog—
it's too murky in this fog.
Don't walk in the park—
or you'll be mugged in the dark.

Withh misty scenes like this—
serial killers won't want to miss.
Be careful of Jack the Ripper—
kills prostitutes and strippers.

Shanghai Slasher we should dread—
kills college girls wearing red.
Boston Strangler has eluded police—
he'll bring fear and not any peace.

Zodiac Killer also on the loose—
he is after people instead of goose.
Stay home and don't wander around—,
Mack the Knife is back in town!
