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 outta sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now, on the sidewalk

Oh, Sunday morning, uh-huh

Lies a body just oozin' life

Eek! And someone's sneaking 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Oh, there's a tugboat

Down by the river, don't you know?

Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear

Five'll get ya ten, old Mackie's back in town

Now did ya hear about Louie Miller?

He done disappeared, babe

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

And now Macheath spends like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?Ah-ah-ah, Jenny Diver, ho-ho, yeah, Suky Tawdry

Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

You know that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Mackie's back in old New York town

I said, Jenny Diver, I got Suky Tawdry

Stay back, Miss Lotte Lenya, move it over, Miss Lucy Brown

You know that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Mackie's back in town

Look out, old Mackie is back!

Yeah, Bobby!
