Mack the Knife

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor

Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Scarlet billows start to spread
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Ah, there's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
And someone? sneakin' 'round the corner
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry

Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down

And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Now that Macky's back in town

Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
