Mack the Knife

Lyrics

Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear
 And he shows them pearly white
 Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe
 And he keeps it out of sight
 You know when the shark bites
 With his teeth, babe
 Scarlet billows start to spread
 Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe
 So there's never, never a trace of red
 Now on the sidewalk, uh huh, huh
 Oh, Sunday morning, uh huh
 Lies a body just oozing life
 Someone's sneaking round the corner
 Could that someone be Mack the knife?
 There's a tug boat, uh huh, huh huh
 Down by the river, don't you know
 Where a cement bag's just a-drooping on down
 Oh that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
 Five will get you ten ol' Macky's back in town
 Now d'ya hear about Louis Miller
 He disappeared babe
 After drawing out all his hard earned cash
 And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
 Could it be our boy did something rash?
 Now Jenny Diver, huh huh, yeah Sookie Taudry
 Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
 Oh the line forms on the right, babe
 Now that Macky's back in town
 I said Jenny Diver, woah, Woah Sookie Taudry
 Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
 Oh the line forms on the right, babe
 Now that Macky's, back in town
 Look out old Macky's back!
