Mack The Knife Lyrics - Tried & True - Clay Aiken

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear 

And he shows them pearly white 

Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe 

And he keeps it 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 some Sunday morning 

Lies a body just oozin' life 

Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner 

Could that someone be Mack the Knife? 

From a tugboat, down by the river goin' slow 

A cement bag is drooppin' on down 

That cement's there for the weight, dear 

Five will get you ten, old Macky's back in town 

Oh, Louie Miller, he disappeared, baby 

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash 

And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor 

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash? 

Jenny Diver and Sukey Tawdry 

Look out, Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown 

Yes, the line forms on the right, babe 

Now that Macky's back in town 

I said, "Jenny Diver, oh, Sukey Tawdry 

Look out to Lotte Lenya, old Lucy Brown 

You better lock your doors and call the Lord, babe 

Because Macky is back in town
