"Mack The Knife" lyrics
"Mack The Knife"
Oh, the shark has
A "perfect tooth-act"
He likes to show
The pearly whites
The jackknife
Has old MacHeath
And he keeps her
Out of sight
The shark bites
With her teeth, sir
Scarlet billows start
To spread
Fancy Gloves has
Old MacHeath
And there's never-a-trace of red
Out on the sidewalk
On Sunday morning
Ah, a body, oozing life
Creeping 'round the corner
I wonder
If that someone is
Mack the Knife?
Hey, a tugboat
Went down on the river
There's cement bag
A drooping on down
'Cause that cement is there
For the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten then
Mr. Mackie's back in town
Did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller?
He disappeared
After drawing out
All his hard-earned cash
And his MacHeath
Spending like a sailor
Ya think that boy did something rash?
Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Lookout Miss Lotte Lenya
And Miss Lucy Brown
Come on, the line forms
On the right
Now that Mackie's back in town
Jenny Diver
Louis Armstrong
Bobby Darren
And your true Lee, yeah
They got this act down
On dear, 'ole Rampart Street
'Cause we all think that maybe
Mackie's back
Shhh... Mackie is back

Marianne Faithfull - "As Tears Go By" It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing...
Van Morrison - "Into The Mystic" We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit...
Paul Simon - "Still Crazy After All These Years" I met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years

Joni Mitchell - "River" It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays...
