Mack The Knife Lyrics - Dave Van Ronk

Though the shark has, pretty teeth, dear 

And he shows 'em pearly whites 

Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear 

And he keeps it, well out of sight 

When the shark bites, with his teeth, dear 

Scarlet billows start to spread 

Fancy gloves, though, wears Mac Heath, dear 

So there's not a trace of red 

On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin' 

Lies a body oozin' life 

Someones sneakin' 'round the corner 

Is that someone Mack the Knife?

NEW SONG: Katy Perry - Never Really Over - Lyrics 

From a tugboat, by the river 

A cement bag droppin' down 

The cement, that's just for the weight, dear 

I'll bet you Macky's back in town 

Mr. Miller, disappeared, dear 

After drawin' out all of his cash 

Went tap city, and Mac Heath spends like a sailor 

Did our boy do, somethin' rash?
