Mack The Knife

Mac The Knife lyrics

Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
And he keeps them out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Macheath dear
So theres not a trace of red

On the side walk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone sneakin round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife

From a tugboat bu the river
A cement bags droppin down
The cement just for the weight dear
Bet ya Mackies back in town

Louie Miller disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
And Macheath spends like a sailor
did our boy do something rash

Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peahum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right dears
Now that Mackies back in town

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
Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it our of sight
