Mack the Knife

Oh, this shark has a perfect tooth-act He likes to show the pearly whites A jackknife has old Macheath And he keeps it out of sight The shark bites with her teeth, sir Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves has old Macheath And there's never a trace of red Out on the sidewalk on Sunday morning Ah, a body oozing life Creeping 'round the corner I wonder if that someone is Mack the Knife? Hey, a tugboat went down on the river There's a cement bag a-drooping on down 'Cause that cement is there for the weight, dear Five'll get ya ten, then Mr. Mackie's back in town Did you hear about Louie Miller? Huh, disappeared After drawing out all his hard-earned cash And it's Macheath spending like a sailor You think that boy did something rash? Jenny Diver, Suki Tawdry Lookout (Miss) Lotte Lenya and Miss Lucy Brown Come on, the line forms on the right (right) Now that Mackie's back in town Jenny Diver, Louis Armstrong Bobby Darin and yours truly, yeah They got this act down there on Rampart Street 'Cause we all think that maybe Mackie's back Shh, Mackie is back
