Mack the Knife (LP Version)

Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on a sidewalk, ooh Sunday mornin', uh-huh

Lies a body just oozin' life

And someone's sneakin' 'round a corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, down by the river, don't you know?

Where a cement bag, just a-droopin' on down

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear

Five'll get you ten Old Macky's back in town

Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash

And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Jenny Diver, ho-ho, yeah, Suki Tawdry

Miss Lottie Lenya, and ol' Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms, on the right, babe

Now that Macky's back in town

I said, Jenny Diver, whoa, Suki Tawdry

Look out Miss Lottie Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky's

Back in town

Look out Old Mack is back!
