Mack the Knife

Now that Macky's back in town
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
So there's never, never a trace of red
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek

Now that Macky's back in town
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh

Scarlet billows start to spread

Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

And someone? sneakin' 'round the corner
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Ah, there's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
