Bobby Darin - "Mack the Knife"

Take a guess (spoken)

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife 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 MacHeath,
So there's never, never a trace of red

Not let that thing get good.

Now on the sidewalk, ooh Sunday morning huh,
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' clear around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, yeah go ahead if you feel like it,
Down by the river don'tcha know
With a cement bag just droopin' on down
You know that cement is just, it's there for the weight, little girl
Five'll gonna get you a dime that old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, honey
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Ahh ah Jenny Diver, look out Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya not to mention old Lucy Brown
You know that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in this here town

I said Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry
Stay back Miss Lotte Lenya and old Miss Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town....................
Look out old Macky is back ohhhhh
