Mack The Knife   





Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear 

And he shows them pearly white 

Just a jack knife has MacHeath, 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 MacHeath, 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 tug boat by the river 

A cement bag's dropping down 

The cement's just for the weight, dear 

Bet you Mack is back in town 

 

Louie Miller disappeared, dear 

After drawing out his cash 

And MacHeath spends like a sailor 

Did our boy do something rash? 

 

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver 

Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown 

Oh the line forms on the right, dear 

Now that Mack is back in town
