"Mack The Knife" lyrics
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, dear?
And he keeps it out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears old MacHeath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On a sidewalk, Sunday mornin'
Lies a body oozin' life
Some, someone's sneakin' 'round a corner
Is that someone be Old Mack the Knife
From a tugboat down by the river
Where a cement bag, just a'droopin' on down
That cement is just it's there for the weight, dear
Ten Old Macky's back in town
Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath spend like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver [?] Lucy Brown
Oh that line forms, on the right, babe
Now, that's Macky's back in old biggest town
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, dear?
And he keeps it out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears old MacHeath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On a sidewalk, Sunday mornin'
Lies a body oozin' life
Some, someone's sneakin' 'round a corner
Is that someone be Old Mack the Knife
From a tugboat down by the river
Where a cement bag, just a'droopin' on down
That cement is just it's there for the weight, dear
Ten Old Macky's back in town
Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath spend like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver [?] Lucy Brown
Oh that line forms, on the right, babe
Now, that's Macky's back in old biggest town
