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
