Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark has bullet teeth, dear
And it shows them a pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macky, dear
And he keeps it, out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears Macky, dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Yet that someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat, by the river don'tcha know
A cement bag, drooppin' down
Yeah, that cement is just for the weight, dear
That true Macky's back in town
Look at you, Louie Miller. Disappeared, dear
After drawin' out his cash
And Macky spends just like a sailor
Did our boy do somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lotte Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky's back in town
