Mack the Knife Lyrics

[00:06.38] Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
[00:53.34] And he shows them, pearly white
[00:58.11] Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
[01:04.47] And he keeps it out of sight
[01:09.12] When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
[01:14.72] Scarlet billows start to spread
[01:20.34] Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
[01:25.46] So there? s not a trace, mmm of red
[01:30.67] On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin', baby
[01:36.19] Lies a body, oozin' life
[01:41.18] Someone sneakin' around the corner
[01:47.12] Is the someone, Mack the Knife?
[01:52.02] From a tugboat, by the river
[01:57.58] A cement bag's drooppin' down
[02:02.88] Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear
[02:08.41] Bet you Mack, he's back in town
[02:13.60] Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared, dear
[02:19.26] After drawing out his cash
[02:24.93] And MacHeath spends like a sailor
[02:29.96] Did our boy do somethin' rash?
[02:35.62] Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
[02:40.66] Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown
[02:46.35] Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
[02:51.28] Now that Mack, he's back in town
[02:55.87] Take it, Satch
[02:56.50]
