Kevin Surace performs an improvised, absurdist version of "Mack the Knife" at Perfect's Year 2000 Christmas party, replacing the original lyrics with nonsense about sharks and cement bags while the audience shouts "Eek!" The whole thing is ridiculous and the room loves it.

Hello, may I have your attention please? Quiet please. Thank you.
Shh.
Welcome to the Year 2000 Christmas party for Perfect. We're really happy that you guys could make it tonight. We have an incredible evening planned for all of you, and I think you're really going to enjoy it and be surprised by it. The first thing that we're going to do is introduce someone that has been giving his heart and soul to this company, and will then give his heart and soul into entertaining all of us. And I just want to say bienvenue, welcome, have a wonderful evening, and please put your hands together for Kevin Surace.
Hear a little more. Oh, the shark, a babe, has such teeth, dear. And he shows them pearly whites. Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe. And he keeps it out of sight. You know that shark bites with its teeth, babe. Scarlet pillows start to spread. Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe. So there's never, I said never a trace of red. Ah, the sidewalk, uh-huh. Ooh, Sunday morning, uh-huh. Lies a body just oozing life.
Eek!
And someone's sneaking around the corner. Could that someone be Mac the Knife?
There's a tugboat, ho, ho, down by the river, don't you know?
Well, the cement bag just a-drooping on down. Oh, that cement is just— it's there for the weight, dear. 5 will get you 10.
Oh, Mackie, he's back in town.
Now, did you hear about Louie Miller?
He disappeared, babe, after throwing out all his hard-earned cash. And now Mack, he spends just like a sailor. Could it be our boys done something rash? I said, Iva, oh, Suki Tawdry, oh, Miss Lila Lynn, yeah, and oh, Lucy Brown. Yes, that was on the right face. Now that Mackey's— I think he's back in town. I said, Cameron South, Miss Cheryl Ricketts, look out to that Sheila Wales and Jane Lalonde. Yes, that light bulb on the right base. Now that Mackie is back in time. Look out, old Mackie.
All right, with that, thank you very much. With that—
