Mack The Knife Lyrics

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
