Mack the Knife Lyrics
Mack the Knife - Shirley Horn
Written by:Weill
Oh the shark has
Pretty teeth dear
And he shows them
Pearly whites
Just a jackknife
Has Macheath dear
And he keeps it
Out of sight
When the shark bites
With his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves
Wears old Macheath
So there's not
A trace of red
On the sidewalk
Sunny morning
Lies a body
Oozing life
Someone's sneaking
Round the corner
Is the someone
Mack the knife
From a tug boat
By the river
A cement bag's
Dropping down
The cements just
For the weight dear
Bet you Mack is
Back in town
Louie miller
Disappeared dear
After drawing out
His cash
And Macheath spends
Like a sailor
Did our boys do
Something rash
Sukey tawdry
Jenny diver
Sister city
Lucy brown
Oh the line forms
On the right dear
Now that Macky's back in town
A Sukey tawdry
Jenny diver
Sister city
Lucy brown
Oh the line forms
On the right dear
Now that Macky's Macky's back in town
