Mack The Knife

Oh the shark has such teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, dear

And he keeps it out of sight

You know when the shark bites

with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear

So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning,

Don't you know

Lies a body oozing life

Someone's sneaking round the corner

Could that be our boy, Mack the knife?

From a tug boat by the river

There's a cement bag just dropping on down

The cement's just for the weight, dear

Bet you Mack is back in town

Did you hear about Louie Miller he disappeared

After drawing out all his hard earned cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

Could it be our boy did something rash?

Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry

Polly Peachum, and old Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Mack is back in town

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver

Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right, dear

Now that Mack is back in town
