Mack the Knife

Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin

Oh the shark babe

Has such teeth dear

And he shows them

Pearly white

Just a jackknife

Has old Macheath babe

And he keeps it

Out of sight

You know when that shark bites

With his teeth babe

Scarlet billows

Start to spread

Fancy gloves though

Wears ol' Macheath babe

So there's never never a trace of red

Now on the side walk ooh Sunday morning uh huh

Lies a body just oozing life eek

And someone's sneaking round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the knife

There's a tugboat down by the river don't you know

Where a cement bag's just a drooping on down

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

Five'll get ya ten ol' Mackie's back in town

Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller

He disappeared babe

After drawing out all his hard earned cash

And now Macheath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done something rash

Now Jenny Diver Suky Tawdry

Oh miss Lotte Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right babe

Now that Mackie's back in town

I said Jenny Diver oh Suky Tawdry

Look out miss Lotte Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown

Yes that line forms on the right babe

Now that Mackie's back in town

Look out ol' Mackie is back
