Mack
The Knife
Oh,
the shark babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just
a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it
out of sight
You
know that shark bites with its teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to
spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath,
babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
On
the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body just oozing
life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the
Knife
There's
a tugboat down, down by the river, don't you know
Where's a cement bag just
to drooping all down
Oh that cement's just it's there for the weight
dear
five will get ya ten, oh Mackie's back in
town.
Now... Louie Miller, he disappeared, babe
After drawing
out all his heart and cash
And now MacHeath spends
just like a sailor
Could it be that boy's done something
rash
Now,
Jenny Diver, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy
Brown
Oh the line forms on the right babe
Now that Mackie's back in
town
I
said Jenny Diver, oh
Sukey Tawdry and Lucy
Brown
Oh the line forms on the right babe
Now that Mackie's back in
town
Look at old Mac, he's
back
