Louis Armstrong - Mack the Knife (Moritat) lyrics

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe And he keeps it, ah, out of sight Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe So there's never, never a trace of red On the sidewalk on Sunday mornin', don't you know Lies a body just oozin' life And someone's sneakin' round the corner Could that be our boy Mack the Knife? From a tugboat, down by the river dontcha know Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash And now MacHeath spends, he spends just like a sailor Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash? Now Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, 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 Yes, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Macky's back in town Look out, old Macky's back!!
