Mack The Knife Lyrics - Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear 

And he shows them pearly white 

Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear 

And he keeps it out of sight 

When the shark bites through his victim 

Scarlet spreads amongst the green 

But white gloves wears our Macheath, babe 

And the blood is never seen 

Seven children and their grandpa 

In the fire near old Soho 

Who's that creeping around the corner? 

Doesn't speak and doesn't know 

Solly Silverstein has vanished 

Likewise other rich young men 

And Macheath has all their money 

Try and prove it if you can 

Sookey Tawdry, Jenny Diver 

Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown 

Oh, the line forms on the right, dear 

Now that Mackie's back in town 

Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, babe 

And he keeps them in his face 

Just a jackknife has Macheath, babe 

Keeps it in a different place
