Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he shows them, pearly white

Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear, and he keeps it out of sight

When the 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 the sidewalk, Sunday morning, lies a body oozing life

Someone sneaking around the corner, is the someone Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat by the river, a cement bags droopin' down

The cements just for the weight, dear, I bet you mack, he's back in town

Louie Miller disappeared, dear, after drawing out his cash

And Macheath spends, like a sailor, did our boy do something rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Paulie Peach, Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, dear, now that Mackie's back in town

A-back in town

A-back in town

A-back in town
