Mack The Knife Lyrics

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
