Mack the, uh, Knife

Sometimes lyrics transcriptions can go too far, vis-a-vis strict accuracy. I apologize for all the animation and whatnot on the page, but for me, it was worth the choppy pageload to read lines like:

Now on the sidewalk ? uuh, huh ? whoo ? sunny mornin? ? uuh, huh

And:

A-there's a tugboat ? huh, huh, huh ? down by the river don?tcha know

I am a little disappointed that the transcriber did not indicate between which words Mr. Darin inhaled and exhaled.
