Mack the Knife
On the shark has really teeth dear
And he show them pearly white
Just a Jack Knife has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it outta sight
When that shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath dear
So there's not a trace of red
On a sidewalk Sunday mornin' oh, babe
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone sneak in 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife
From a tug boat by the river oh, babe
Cement bag's droopin' down
Yes, the cement is just for the weight dear
I'll bet you Mack is back in town
Louis Millah disappeared dear
After drawin' out his cash
And MacHeath friends lie dearer
Did a boy do somethin' rash
Sukie Tawdry, Jenny Divah
Polly Peacham, sweet Lucy Brown
Yes that lineforms on the right dear
Now that Mack is back in town.
And he show them pearly white
Just a Jack Knife has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it outta sight
When that shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath dear
So there's not a trace of red
On a sidewalk Sunday mornin' oh, babe
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone sneak in 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife
From a tug boat by the river oh, babe
Cement bag's droopin' down
Yes, the cement is just for the weight dear
I'll bet you Mack is back in town
Louis Millah disappeared dear
After drawin' out his cash
And MacHeath friends lie dearer
Did a boy do somethin' rash
Sukie Tawdry, Jenny Divah
Polly Peacham, sweet Lucy Brown
Yes that lineforms on the right dear
Now that Mack is back in town.
