Mack the Knife

Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it out of sight

You know when the shark bites

with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, uh huh, huh

Oh, Sunday morning, uh huh

Lies a body just oozing life

Someone's sneaking round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the knife?

There’s a tug boat, uh huh, huh huh

Down by the river, don’t you know

Where a cement bag’s just a-drooping on down

Oh that cement is just, it’s there for the weight, dear

Five will get you ten ol’ Macky’s back in town

Now d’ya hear about Louis Miller

He disappeared babe

After drawing out all his hard earned cash

And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy did something rash?

Now Jenny Diver, huh huh, yeah Sookie Taudry

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, woah, Woah Sookie Taudry

Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown

Yes the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky’s, back in town

Look out old Macky’s back!
