Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with those teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk some Sunday morning

Lies a body just oozin' life

Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat, down by the river goin' slow

A cement bag is drooppin' on down

That cement's there for the weight, dear

Five will get you ten, old Macky's back in town

Oh, Louie Miller, he disappeared, baby

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?

Jenny Diver and Sukey Tawdry

Look out, Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Yes, the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky's back in town

I said, "Jenny Diver, oh, Sukey Tawdry

Look out to Lotte Lenya, old Lucy Brown

You better lock your doors and call the Lord, babe

Because Macky is back in town
