Lyrics of Mack the Knife (Moritat) by Louis Armstrong
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 with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
So there? s not a trace, mmm of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday morninโฒ, baby
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone sneakinโฒ around the corner
Is the someone, Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat, by the river
A cement bag's drooppin' down
Yeah, the cementโฒs just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack, heโฒs back in town
Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
Now that Mack, heโฒs back in town
Take it, Satch
Writer(s): Kurt Weill, Marc Blitzstein, Bertolt Brecht
