Various Artists - Mack the Knife lyrics

See the shark with teeth like razors And he wears them in his face And Macheath has got a knife But not in such an obvious place Now see the shark, how red his fins are As he slashes at his prey Mack the Knife wears fancy gloves Which gives a minimum away By the Thames' turbid waters Men abruptly tumble down Well is it plague, or is it cholera Or because Macky's in town? And the child bride, in her nighty Whose a**ailant's still at large Violated in her slumbers Macky how much did you charge? In the ghastly fire in Soho Seven children had a go In the crowd stands Mack the Knife But he isn't asked and he don't know In the crowd stands Mack The Knife But he ain't asked and he don't know
