Mack the Knife
Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has Mac-heath 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 Mac-heath dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is the someone Mack the Knife
From a tugboat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just for the weight dear
Bet you Mackies's back in town
Louis Miller disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
And Mac-heath spends like a sailo
Did our boy do something rash
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum Lucy Brown
O the line forms on the right dear
Now that Mackie's back in town

MACK THE KNIFE
Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he shows them pearly white. Just a
jack-knife has Mack Heath dear, and he keeps it out of sight.
When the shark bites with his teeth dear, scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves do, wears Mack Heath dear, so there's not trace of red.
On the sidewalk Sunday morning ... lies a body oozing life. Someone's sneaking
around the corner. Is that someone Mack the Knife?
Yes from a tugboat by the river..... a cement bag drooping down. And the
cement's, for the weight dear. You know that Mack Heath's back in town.
Yeah Louis Miller disappeared dear, after drawing out all his cash. And Mack
Heath spends like a sailor. Did our boy do something rash?
Suki Todre, Jenny Diver, Lotti Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown. Yes the line forms on
the right dear, now that Mack Heath's back in town.
