Bilingual
Sharp cats, pretty teeth dear
Guess he keeps them pearly white
Just a jack knife has old Mack, he's fine
He keeps it way out of sight
Out with the sharp knifes with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Mack, he
'Til there's not one trace of red
On the sidewalk every Sunday morning
Lies a body just oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Can't that someone be old Mack tonight?
On the tugboat down by the river
There's a seaweed bag that's dropping down
Now the cement's just for the weight dear
I'm telling you, I believe my boy's back in town
Louie Miller disappeared dear
After drawing out all his cash
Now he's gone and spins like a sailor
Tell me, has he gone and done something rash?
Politicians speaking Latin in you
Yes, speak to see them
Now the line forms on the bank dear
Telling you, Macky's back in town
He's back, I saw him
He's back
