The Ballad Of Mack The Knife Lyrics - Dee Does Broadway - Dee Snider

See the shark with teeth like razors. 

All can read his open face. 

And Macheath has got a knife, but 

Not in such an obvious place. 

See the shark, how red his fins are 

As he slashes at his prey. 

Mac the Knife wears white kid gloves which 

Give the minimum away. 

By the Thames's turbid waters 

Men abruptly tumble down. 

Is it plague or is it cholera? 

Or a sign Macheath's in town? 

On a beautiful blue Sunday 

See a corpse stretched in the Strand. 

See a man dodge round the corner... 

Mackie's friends will understand.

And Schmul Meier, reported missing 

Like so many wealthy men: 

Mac the Knife acquired his cash box. 

God alone knows how or when. 

Jenny Towler turned up lately 

With a knife stuck through her breast 

While Macheath walks the Embankment 

Nonchalantly unimpressed. 

Where is Alfred Gleet the cabman? 

Who can get that story clear? 

All the world may know the answer 

Just Macheath has no idea. 

And the ghastly fire in Soho - 

Seven children at a go - 

In the crowd stands Mac the Knife, but he 

isn't asked and doesn't know. 

Photos 

And the child-bride in her nightie 

Whose assailant's still at large 

Violated in her slumbers - 

Mackie, how much did you charge?
