Mack the Knife

Lyrics

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
 And it shows them pearly white
 Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
 And it keeps it way out of sight
 When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
 Scarlet billows begin to spread
 Fancy gloves, wears old MacHeath, babe
 So there's never, never a trace of red
 On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin
 Lies a body oozin' life
 Someone's sneakin' round that corner
 Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
 Oh there's a tugboat down, down by the river dontcha know
 Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
 That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear
 Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
 Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
 After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
 Now MacHeath spends, he spends like a sailor
 Could that boy have done somethin' rash?
 Ahhhh Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry
 Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
 Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
 Now that Macky's back in town
 I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
 Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
 Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
 Now that Macky's back in town
 Look out, old Macky is back!
