Mack The Knife Lyrics - Liz Story - Liz Story

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
