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
