Lyrics: Mack the Knife

Oh the shark has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, dear And he keeps it out of sight You know when the shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear So there's never, never a trace of red On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, Don't you know Lies a body oozing life Someone's sneaking round the corner Could that be our boy, Mack the knife? From a tug boat by the river There's a cement bag just dropping on down The cement's just for the weight, dear Bet you Mack is back in town Did you hear about Louie Miller he disappeared After drawing out all his hard earned cash And MacHeath spends like a sailor Could it be our boy did something rash? Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry Polly Peachum, and old Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right, babe Now that Mack is back in town Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right, dear Now that Mack is back in town
