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
