Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un‑huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a‑drooppin' on down
Yeah, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, old Macky's back in town
Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller?
He done disappeared, babe
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?
Ah-ah-ah Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry,hey!
I said, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Y'know, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back, back in New York town
Ah-ah-ah I said Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry
Stay back, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Y'know, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back!
