Mack the Knife Songtext
Oh the shark babe
Has such teeth dear
And he keeps them pearly white
Just a jackknife
Has old Macheath babe
And he keeps it right out of sight
When the shark bites
With those teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though
Wears old Macheath, babe
So there′s never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Bob Louie Miller
He disappeared, babe
While drawing out his hard earned cash
Now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Now the line falls on the right, babe
Now that sailor, sailor′s back in town
Now the line falls on the right, babe
Now that sailor's back in town
Has such teeth dear
And he keeps them pearly white
Just a jackknife
Has old Macheath babe
And he keeps it right out of sight
When the shark bites
With those teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though
Wears old Macheath, babe
So there′s never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Bob Louie Miller
He disappeared, babe
While drawing out his hard earned cash
Now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Now the line falls on the right, babe
Now that sailor, sailor′s back in town
Now the line falls on the right, babe
Now that sailor's back in town
