Helmut Lotti Mack The Knife Lyrics

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 gloved, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, ooo sunny morning AhHa
Lies a body, just oozing life
And someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife

There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know
Where a cement bag's just a drooping 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, do you hear about Louise Miller ? He disappeared,
babe
After drawing out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailer
Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Now Jenny Diver....yeah Sukey Tawdry
Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, Wow Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Look out....old Macky is Back
