Mack the Knife

Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Ah, there's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
And someone? sneakin' 'round the corner
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
