Mack The Knife Song Lyrics by Bobby Darin
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 You 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 redNow 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 don’tcha 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 did ya 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 townI said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown Yes, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Macky’s back in town Look out, old Macky’s back
