Moritat Lyrics
Oh
The shark
Babe
Has such teeth
Dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old macheath
Babe
And he keeps it
Ah
Out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth
Babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves
Oh
Wears old macheath
Babe
So there's never
Never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk
Huh
Huh
Whoo sunny morning
Un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
Eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife
There's a tugboat
Huh
Huh
Down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh
That cement is just
It's there for the weight
Dear
Five'll get ya ten old macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout louie miller
He disappeared
Babe
After drawin' out all his hard earned cash
And now macheath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash
Now jenny diver
Ho
Ho
Yeah
Sukey tawdry
Ooh
Miss lotte lenya and old lucy brown
Oh
The line forms on the right
Babe
Now that macky's back in town
