Moritat Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

(Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill) 

As performed by Lyle Lovett for the film Quiz Show 

See the shark with teeth like razors 

You can read his open face 

And Macheath, he's got a knife, and 

In such an obvious place. 

On a beautiful blue Sunday, 

See a corpse stretched in the Strand 

See a man dodge 'round the corner... 

Mackie's friends will understand. 

Mr. Meier reported missing 

Like so many wealthy men: 

Mack the knife acquired his cashbox 

God alone knows how or when.

Jenny Towler, she turned up lately 

With a knife stuck through her breast 

While Macheath, he walks the embankment, 

Nonchalantly unimpressed. 

And the ghastly fire in Soho 

Seven children at a go 

In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but 

He isn't asked, he doesn't know. 

And the child bride in her nightgown 

Whose assailants still at large 

Violated in her slumbers 

Mackie how much did you charge? 

Yes, the child bride in her nightgown 

Whose assailants still at large 

Violated in her slumbers 

Mackie how much did you charge?
