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>
<br>
