MICHAEL BUBLE - Mack The Knife lyrics

rate me

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear

And it shows them, pearly white

Just a jack knife has Macheath dear

And it keeps it way out of sight

Oh when that shark bites

With its teeth, dear

Scarlet billows begin to spread

Fancy gloves though wears old Macheath dear

So there's never, never, ever a trace of red

On a sidewalk, one Sunday morning

Lies a body, oozin' life

Someone's sneaking 'round that corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife

Oh there's a tugboat down, it's down by the river, don't you know

Where the cement bag's just dropping on down

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

Five'll get ya ten old Mackie's back in town

Did you hear about Louis Miller, he disappeared babe

After drawing out all his hard-earned cash

Now Macheath spends, he spends like a sailor

Could that boy have done something rash

Aaah Jenny diver look out Sukey Tawdrey

Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucey Brown

All that line forms on the right babe

Now that Mackie's, aMackie's back in town

Aaaah Jenny diver, Sukey Tawdrey

Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucey Brown

All that line forms on the right babe

Now that Makie's back in town

I said look out old Mackheath is back

(improvisation)

Just a Jack Knife has Macheath dear

So you heard it

Yes we swung it

Oh we tried to

Yes we sung it

You may not recognize it

For it's a Alla and Babalu hit

Oh, this tune called Mack the Knife

And so we leave you

From this Vancouver town

Where we took old Macheath

And we swom down

All the Darin bands

And for the Ella and Louis bands too

We told you 'Look out', 'Look out', 'Look out'

Old Macheath's back in town
