Mack the Knife

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 outta sight You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe So there's never, never a trace o' red Now, on the side walk Ooh Sunday morning, ah, ah Lies a body just oozin' life, eek! An' someone's sneaking 'round the corner Could that someone be Mack the Knife? There's a tugboat, ah, ah, ah-ah Down by the river, don't you know? Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear Five'll get ya ten, old Mack he's back in town Now did ya hear about 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? Na, na, Jenny Diver, ho ho, Suky Tawdry Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, babe Now that Mack, he's back in town I said, Jenny Diver, whoa, Suky Tawdry Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown Yes, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Mack, he's back in town Look out old Mack, he is back!
