Mack the Knife (Live)

A, one, two, three, four
Two, two, three, four
Three guesses
From

Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife, ah-so madam nu, wears old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old Macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace o' red

Aw, let it swing here, on a sidewalk, huh, huh-huh
Ooh Sunday mornin', ah-ah
Lies a body oozin' life, eek! So eek!
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Tell me could that someone be, whoa, Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, ah, ah, ah-ah
Down by the river, don't you know?
Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down
If that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear
Five'll is got to get you ten, brother Mack he's back in town

Did ya hear about Louie Miller?
He done, ya took me 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?

Come on, Jenny Diver, yeah, yeah, woo, Suky Tawdry
Hello, Miss Lotte Lenya, good evening, Lucy Brown
Oh, that line forms way on the right, babe
Now that Mack, he's back in old Vegas town

I said, Jenny Diver, whoa, Suky Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, ooh, move it over Miss Lucy Brown
I mean to tell ya, that line forms way on the right, babe
Now that Mack, he's, ooh, back in town
Look out old Mack, he is back!

Ah, what a pleasure
Thank you so much
