Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark, babe has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old macheath, babe

And he keeps it, ah, 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, darling

Let the thing swing

On the sidewalk, huh, huh, who sunday morning, uh huh

Lies a body just oozin' life, eek

And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Tell me, could that someone be 'mack the knife'?

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don't you know?

Where a cement bag's just a hangin' on down

Oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear

Five'll get you ten old macky's back in town

Did you hear 'bout louie miller? He done disappeared, dear

After drawin' out, feels good, all his hard earned cash

And now macheath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Come on, come on

Jenny diver, ho, ho, ho, sukey tawdry

Hello miss lotte lenya, good evening, lucy brown

Oh, the line forms way on the right, babe

And now that macky's back in olderly town

I said, "jenny diver, look out, sukey tawdry

Stay back, lotte lenya, move it over lucy brown

Oh the line forms way beyond the right, babe

And now that macky's back in town"

Look out, old macky is back!
