Mack the Knife Lyrics

 

Mack the Knife - Anita O'Day (安妮塔·奥黛)

Written by:Bertolt Brecht/Marc Blitzstein/Kurt Weill

Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

 

And he shows them pearly white

 

Just a jackknife has macheath dear

 

And he keeps it out of sight

 

Oh when that shark bites with his teeth dear

 

Scarlet billows start to spread

 

Fancy gloves oh wears macheath dear

 

So there's not a trace of red

 

On the sidewalk sunday morning

Lies a body oozin' life

 

Someone's sneakin'

 

It's 'round the corner

 

Is that someone Mack the knife

 

From a tugboat a by the river

 

A cement bag's a drooppin' on down

 

Oh that cement is just it's for the weight dear

 

Oh get you Macky's back in town

 

Louie Miller disappeared dear

 

After drawin' out all his cash

 

Macheath spends like a sailor

 

Did our boy do someone rash

Oh Sukey Tawdry

 

Jenny Diver Polly Peachum

 

Lucy Brown

 

Oh the line forms on the right dear

 

Now that Macky's back in town

 

Are back in town

 

Are back in town

 

 

Are back in town
