Bobby Darin Mack The Knife Lyrics

Mack The Knife Lyrics

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly
white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of
sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s
never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny
morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone’s
sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the
Knife?

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha
know
Where a cement bag’s just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is
just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky’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,
ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh,
the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town

I
said Jenny Diver, whoa, 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's back!!
