Mack the Knife

Dig man, there goes Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them a pearly white

Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though, wears Mac Heath, dear

So there's not a trace, hmm of red

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning

Lies a body oozin' life

Someone's sneakin' around the corner

Is this someone, Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag's droopin' down

Yeah, the cement's just for the weight dear

Bet you Mack, he's back in town

Look at here, Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawing out his cash

And Mac Heath spends like a sailor

Did our boy do somethin' rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right dears

Now that Mack is back in town

Take it, snatch
