Mack the Knife (Live)

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it, out of sight

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Oh sunday, Sunday morning

Lies a body just oozin' life

And someone's sneakin' round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat, down by the river dontcha know

Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down

That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear

Now Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? he disappeared, babe

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

Now MacHeath spends, just like a sailor

Could it be that boy done somethin' rash?

Ahhhh Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry

Ooh, Miss 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, whoa, Sukey Tawdry

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky is back!
