Lyrics
Dig man, there goes Mack the Knife
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, a-pearly white
Just a jackknife, has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears Macheath, dear
So there's not a trace, mmm, of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning, baby
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' around the corner
Is the someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat by the river
A cement bag's drooping down
Yes, the cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack, he's back in town
Look a-here Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And Macheath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lottie Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
Now that Mack, he's back in town
Take it, Satch
