Mack the Knife Lyrics

Mack the Knife - Countdown Singers

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 dear

 

Scarlet billows start to spread

 

Fancy gloves though wears old macheath babe

 

So there's never never a trace of red

 

On the sidewalk ooh sunny morning

Don't you know

 

Lies a body just oozin' life

 

And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

 

Could that be upon mack the knife

 

From a tugboat down by the river don't ya know

 

There's a cement bag's just a droopin' on down

 

That cement

It's there for the weight dear

 

Five'll get ya ten old macky's back in town

 

D'ya hear about louie miller he disappeared babe

After drawin' out all his hard earned cash

 

And now mac heath spends just like a lucky sailor

 

Could it be

Could it be

Could it be our boy's done something rash

 

Oh Jenny diver ho sukey tawdry

 

Look now miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

 

Oh the line forms on the right babe

 

Now that Macky's back in town

 

I said Jenny diver

Whoa whoa sukey tawdry

 

Look that miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

 

Yes that line forms on the right babe

 

Now that Macky's

 

Back in town

 

Look out ol' Macky's back

 

Owo
