Mack The Knife

Lyrics

Uh-huh, Uh-huh
 Lay way back you cats, Dig in
 Live a while, yes, Mr Mack is movin' in
 Though the shark has, pretty teeth, dear
 And he shows 'em pearly whites
 Just a jackknife has Mac
 Heath, dear
 And he keeps it, well out of sight
 When the shark bites, with his teeth, dear
 Scarlet billows start to spread
 Fancy gloves, though, wears Mac
 Heath, dear
 So theres not a trace of red
 On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin'Lies a body oo-oozin' life
 Someones sneakin' 'round the cor-or-orner
 Is that someone Mack the Knife? From a tugboat, by the river
 A cement bags drooppin' down
 The cement, that's just for the weight, dear
 I'll bet you Mackys back in tow-own
 Mr Miller, disappeared, dear
 After drawin' out all of his cash
 Went tap city, and Mac
 Heath spends like a sailor
 Did our boy do, somethin' rash? Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
 Polly Peacham, Miss Lucy Brown
 Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
 Now that Mackys back in town
