Music: Cole Porter<br>

Lyrics: Cole Porter<br>

Premiere: 1948<br>

<br>

Performed by JUDY GARLAND and ENSEMBLE<br>

There's a pirate known to fame,<br>

Black Macoco was the pirate's name.<br>

In his day the tops was he<br>

'Round the Carib-BE-an or Ca-RIBB-ean sea.<br>

<br>

Mack the Black<br>

'Round the Carib-BE-an,<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Or Ca-RIBB-ean Sea.<br>

Mack the Black<br>

'Round the Carib-BE-an,<br>

'Round the Carib-BE-an,<br>

Or Ca-RIBB-ean Sea.<br>

<br>

When he'd sighted a clipper ship,<br>

Mack would board her and begin to clip.<br>

First he'd grab the Lady's fair,<br>

Specially those with jewels,<br>

Those with jewels to spare.<br>

<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Specially those with jewels,<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Those with jewels to spare.<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Specially those with jewels,<br>

Specially those with jewels,<br>

Those with jewels to spare.<br>

<br>

When he'd made his daily rounds,<br>

Gals'd trail him like a pack of hounds.<br>

Ev'ry night he'd have a date,<br>

Ladies go to pieces<br>

Over pieces of eight.<br>

<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Ladies go to pieces,<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Over pieces of eight.<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Ladies go to pieces,<br>

Ladies go to pieces<br>

Over pieces of eight.<br>

<br>

Evening star, if you see Mack,<br>

Stop his wanderings and guide him back.<br>

I'll be waiting patiently<br>

By the Carib-BE-an or Ca-RIBB-ean Sea.<br>

<br>

Mack the Black<br>

By the Carib-BE-an,<br>

Mack the Black<br>

Or Ca-RIBB-ean sea.<br>

Mack the Black<br>

By the Carib-BE-an,<br>

By the Carib-BE-an,<br>

Or in case you're not agreein',<br>

The Ca-RIBB-ean Sea.<br>

<br>

Mack the Black, Macoco.<br>

From Guadalupe to Barbados,<br>

Tornados,<br>

Get them to him desperados.<br>

Through all the Carib-BE-an or vicinity,<br>

Macoco leads a flaming trail of masculinity,<br>

And suddenly I feel I've got a big affinity,<br>

And I'm "loco" for Mack, Mack,<br>

Mack the Black, Macoco!<br>
