Louis Armstrong Mack The Knife Other Version Lyrics

Mack The Knife Other Version Lyrics

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear

And he keeps it, out of sight

when that shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though, has MacHeath, dear

So there’s never, not a trace of red



on the sidewalk, whoo sunny morning,

Lies a body oozin' life,

someones sneakin' ‘round the corner

is that someone Mack the Knife?



There's a tugboat,  down by the river baby

Where a cement bag’s 'drooppin' on down

Oh, that cement is for the weight, dear

Bet you that he's back in town

Yeah Louie Miller disappeared here,

After drawin' out all his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

did our boy's done somethin' rash?



Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, ,

Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, dear

Now that Macky’s back in town
