Mack the Knife (X Factor Performance) - Single

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it, keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows, they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves though has Macheath, dear
So there's rarely, never one trace of red

On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Don't you know
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that a boy, Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat on the river goin' slow
A cement bag, it is dropping down
The cement is just for the weight, dear
You can make a large bet Macheath is back in town

Oh Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya and hallo Lucy Brown
Yeah that line forms, on the right, babe
Now that Macheath, back in town

Look out old Macky's back!
