"Jack The Knife" lyrics
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a switchblade's all he keeps, dear
Keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears old Jackie
So there's never a trace of red
On the sidewalk sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone sneaking round the corner
Is that someone Jack the knife?
The cement's just for the weight, dear
I'll bet you Jackie's back in town
Louis Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And Jackie spends it like a sailor
Did our Jackie boy do something rash?
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a switchblade's all he has, dear
And he keeps it by his side
Just a switchblade's all he has, dear
And he keeps it at his side
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a switchblade's all he keeps, dear
Keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears old Jackie
So there's never a trace of red
On the sidewalk sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone sneaking round the corner
Is that someone Jack the knife?
The cement's just for the weight, dear
I'll bet you Jackie's back in town
Louis Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And Jackie spends it like a sailor
Did our Jackie boy do something rash?
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a switchblade's all he has, dear
And he keeps it by his side
Just a switchblade's all he has, dear
And he keeps it at his side
