Mack the Knife

[BOBBY]
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 outta 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 a trace of red

Now, on the sidewalk
Oh, Sunday morning, uh-huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
Eek! And someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

Oh, there's a tugboat
Down by the river, don't you know?
Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, old Mackie's back in town

Now did ya hear about Louie Miller?
He done disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now Macheath spends like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Ah-ah-ah, Jenny Diver, ho-ho, yeah, Suky Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
You know that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in old New York town

I said, Jenny Diver, I got Suky Tawdry
Stay back, Miss Lotte Lenya, move it over, Miss Lucy Brown
You know that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town

Look out, old Mackie is back!

[Spoken]
Yeah, Bobby!
