Helmut Lotti - Mack the knife lyrics
Your rating:
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 out of sight. You know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe So there’s never, never ever a trace of red. On the sidewalk, one sunny mornin’ Lies a body just oozin' life And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner Could that someone perhaps by chance be Mack the Knife? A-there's a tugboat down by the river going slow Where a cement bag’s just drooping on down Oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear Five I'll get you ten old Macky’s back in town. Do you hear about Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe After drawing out all his hard-earned cash And now MacHeath babe spends just like a sailor Could it be, could it be our boy's done something rash? Now our girl Jenny Diver, ho yeah Sukey Tawdry Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya, yeah Lotte, and old Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, babe Now that Macky, yeah ol’ Macky’s back in town. I said Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and not to mention old Lucy Brown Yes, that line forms on the right, babe Now that Macky’s back in town Look out old Macky is back
