Liberace - Mack The Knife lyrics

rate me

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly whites

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 wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning

Lies a body just oozin' life

And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Could that someone be oh Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know

Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down

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

Five'll get ya ten old Mack he's back in town

Now d'ja 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?

Now Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry

Oooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky’s back in town.

Aah I said Jenny Diver, 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!!
