Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, Has such teeth, dear, And he shows them Pearly white. 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. And she calls to old MacHeath, Babe, "So there's never, never a trace of Red." Now the safe was hot, ooh, Sunday morning now. Lies the body just oozin' life. If I'm someone sneakin' 'round that corner, Could that someone be Mack the Knife? And at the top of hot, Down from the river don't you know, well, A cement bag's just a-droopin' down. Oh, the cement is just, it's there for the Lady, for ever get you to know MacHeath's back In town. Now you'll never believe me now. She disappeared, babe, Out the door and now all his hard-earned cash. And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor. Could it be our boy's done something rash? Jenny Diver, Yeah, Sukey Tawdry, Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya, And then Lucy Brown. Oh, the line forms on the right, Babe, now that MacHeath's back in Town. I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry. Look out Miss Lotte Lenya and then Lucy Brown. Yes, the line forms on the right, Babe, Now that MacHeath's back In town. Look out, MacHeath's back!
