"Mack The Knife" lyrics
Rufus Wainwright & Pacific Jazz Orchestra Lyrics
"Mack The Knife"
Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und MacHeath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht
An 'nem schönen blauen Sonntag
Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke
Den man Mackie Messer nennt
On the sidewalk, sunny mornin'
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat by the river
Where a cement bag's droppin' on down
That cement is there, it's there for the weight, dear
Bet you that Macky's back in town
Did you heard about Louie Miller, he disappeared there
After drawin' out all his hard earned cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Has our boy done somethin' rash?
Oh, Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
And Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky's back in town
Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms to the right, dear
Now that Macky's, Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky's back
