Mack The Knife

Mack The Knife - Various Artists

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

But fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

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 down by the river dontcha know

Where a cement bag's just a-hangin on down

Oh, that cement is just

is there for the weight, dear

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

D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, dear

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?

Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry

And Miss Lotte Lenya, good everning, Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms way on the right, babe

And now that Macky's back in olderly town

I said Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry

Look out, Lotte Lenya, move it over Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms way on the right, babe

And now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky is back!!
