Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white. Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe And he keeps it, out of sight. When that shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread. Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe And he never shows a single drop of red. On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, comin' down Lies a body oozin' life, Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner Could that someone be Mack the Knife? There's a tugboat down by the river With a cement bag, hangin' down. Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town.

There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry, Miss Lotte Lenya and ole Lucy Brown. Oh, the line forms on the right, babe, Now that Macky's, Oh, yes, Macky He's back in town He's back in town
