Mack The Knife Song

Mack The Knife Sheet Music

Oh, the shark, has, pretty teeth, dear
and he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife, has macheath, yeah
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, yeah
so there's not a trace, hmmmm of red

On the sidewalk sunday morning,
lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
is the someone, mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river
a cement bag's, droopin' down
Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear
bet you mack, he's back in town

Looky here louie miller, disappeared dear
after drawing, out his cash
And macheath spends, like a sailor
did our boy do, somethin' rash

Sukey tawdry, jenny diver
lotte lenya, sweet lucy brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
now that macky's back in town

"take it satch"
