Brian Setzer Orchestra - Mack the Knife lyrics

rate me

Oh,the shark babe

Has such teeth,dear

And he shows them, pearly white

Just a jackknife

Has old 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 old

Macheath,dear

So there's never a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning

Lies a body just oozing life

Someone's sneaking

'Round the corner

Could that someone be

Mack the knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river

Didn't you know

A cement bag's dropping down

Well that cement's

Just for the weight dear

Five will get you ten

Mackie's back in town

Here about Louie Miller

He disappeared,dear

After drawing out all his

Hard-earned cash

And Macheath spends

Just like a sailor

Could it be our boy

Did something rash?

Jenny Diver,Sukey Tawdry

Lawdie Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right babe

Now that Mackie's back in town
