Mack the Knife

Mack The Knife (Remaster) - Hildegard Knef

Oh the shark has pearly teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack-knife has macheath

And he keeps 'em out of sight

On a blue and barmy sunday

Lies a body oozing life

Someone s sneaking round the corner

Is that someone mack the knife

When the shark bites with his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears macheath dear

So there s not a trace of red

Jenny towler was discovered

With a jack-knife in her breast

And macheath strolled down the dockside

Knows no more than all the rest

And the widow not yet twenty

Everybody calls her miss

Woke one morning violated

But will macky pay for this

There are some that live in darkness

And the others live in light

And you see the ones in brightness

Those in darkness drop from sight

And you see the ones in brightness

Those in darkness drop from sight
