Paroles de Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them pearly whiteJust a jackknife has MacHeath, babe.....and he keeps it, out of sightWhen that shark bites with his teeth, dear....scarlet billows start to spreadJust a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe..and he never shows a single drop of redOn the sidewalk...Sunday morning, commin' down...lies a body oozin' lifeSomeone's sneakin' 'round the corner...could that someone be Mack the Knife?(instrumental break)There's a tugboat....down by the river.....with a cement bag, hangin' downOh, the cement's just for weight, dear...five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in townOle Louie Miller disappeared, babe...after he withdrew all his cashNow MacHeath spends like a sailor...could it be our boy's...done somethin' rash?There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry..Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy BrownOh, the line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in townI said that line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town.
