Mack The Knife (Moritat)

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, dear

And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, dear

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now, On the sidewalk on Sunday mornin'

Lies a body just oozin' life

And someone's sneakin' round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There is a tugboat, boat, boat

Boat down by the river dontcha know?

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

That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear

Get ya Macky's back in town

Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, dear

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

And now MacHeath spends, just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Ooh, Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver

Ooh, Polly Peaches and Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, dear

Now that Macky's back in town

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver

Polly Peaches, Lucy Brown

Lee Low, Leny Eversong come too

Yes, that line forms on the right, dear

Now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky's back!!
