Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, a-burning white
Just a jackknife has Mackie, dear
And he keeps it, ooh, out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
And she glows too, wears Mackie, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red

Yeah, on the sidewalk, ooh, Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozing life
Someone's sneaking around the corner
Is that someone who Mack the Knife?

Look at little Miller disappear, dear
After drawing out his hard-earned cash
And Mackie spends, ooh, like a sailor
Did a boy, did a boy do something rash?
Yeah, Sookie told me, ooh, Jenny Diver
Loved Delaney and sweet Lucy Brown
On the left, folks, on the right, dear
Now that Mackie's back in town
