Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old Mac Heath, babe

And he keeps it out of sight

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves oh, wears old Mac Heath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning

Lies a body just oozin' life, eek

And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know

Where a cement bag's just drooppin' on down

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

Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

And now Mac Heath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Now Jenny Diver, ho ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry

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, Sukey Tawdry

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown"

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky's back
