MICHAEL BUBLE

- Mack The Knife Lyrics

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
And it keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Oh there's a tugboat down, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Now MacHeath spends, he spends like a sailor
Could that boy have done somethin' rash?

Ahhhh Jenny Diver, ho, 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, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back!

What is the meaning behind Mack The Knife lyrics?


When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, michael Bublé's version of 'Mack the Knife' tells the story of a wanted man who is not only feared but also made a hero. In their tune, the scarlet billows and the cement bag are among the many metaphorical devices that help compose the picture of violence and the surrounding intrigue of Mack's coming back. The lyrics, in a nutshell, communicate social commentary intertwined with the expressions of angst, reflection, despair, and anger. Whereas mack the knife to some extent focuses on the character of the criminal and on the associated risks, the song also deals with the aspects of feeling secure and carefulness plus the return of a famous bad guy. Among other places in the song, such references to violence and criminality are found in the images of a body 'oozing life' and an individual who might be engaged in disappearances and spending money unlawfully. It is these themes and the general tone that point to a PG-13 rating, which means there might be some material not suitable for kids under 13.
