Mack the Knife

[Verse 1] Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear And he keeps it way out of sight [Verse 2] When that shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows begin to spread Fancy gloves though, wears our Macheath, babe So there's never, never ever a trace of red [Verse 3] On a sidewalk one Sunday morning Lies a body oozin' life Someone's sneakin' around that corner Could that someone be Mack the Knife? [Verse 4] Oh, there's a tugboat down, it's down by the river, don't you know Where the cement bag droopin' on down Ooh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear Five'll get ya ten old Mackie's back in town [Verse 5] 'Dja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash Now Macheath spends, he spends like a sailor Could that boy have done somethin' rash? [Verse 6] Ah, Jenny Diver, look out, Suky Tawdry Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown Oh, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Mackie's, Mackie's back in town Ah, Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, babe Now that Mackie's back in town [Outro] I said, look out, old Mackie is back!
