Mack The Knife (From THREEPENNY OPERA)

Oh, the shark bait has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly whites
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
But fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

On a sidewalk, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, Sunday morning, uh huh
There lies a body just oozing life
And someone sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know?
Where a cement bag just a-drooping on down
And that cement it's just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five will get you ten, old Mack, he's back in town

Did you hear about Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends like a sailor
Could it be our boy done something rash?

Jennie Diver, ho! Yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya, move it over Lucy Brown
Yeah, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

I said, Jennie Diver, look out Sukey Tawdry
Look out for Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, the line forms way on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

Look out, old Mackie's back!
