Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows 'em pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears old MacHeath, dear
So there ain't never, oh, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, ooh, Sunday morning, uh-huh
Lies the body just oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know
Woah, with cement bags just a-droopin' on down
Well, that cement is just, oh, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, Macky is back in town

You know about Louie Miller, hey, he disappeared now
After drawin' out all, all of his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a shill
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Oh, Jenny Diver, Sookie Tawdry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

See Jenny Diver, Sookie Tawdry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Well, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky is back
Give 'em the real thing
