Stealing softly through the night 

See the shadow of Mack the Knife,

He's come to steal your dreams away,

To sell them off and make them pay. 

Billy and Runaround Sue

They know exactly what to do,

They've found a dream that's new

They're gonna keep it safe for me and you. 

Through the alley and down the hall

Mack the Knife will chase you all

With dark intent and thoughts unkind

He creeps up on you from behind 

Billy and Runaround SueThey know exactly what to do

Fight to keep a dream alive

Hungry hearts shout out,I will survive

Chorus 

Close the door put out the light

Mack the Knife is out tonight

Take your dreams and hold them tight

Or you'll get lost in the night. 

From the Thames and up The Strand

See the shadow of a darker man

The ghastly fire in Soho

Seven Children at a go. 

Billy and Runaround Sue

They know exactly what to do,

They've found a dream that's new

They're gonna keep it safe for me and you.

Repeat Chorus
