Mack the Knife Songtext
von Anita O’Day
Mack the Knife Songtext
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 of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, lies a body oozing life
Someone sneaking around the corner, is the someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat by the river, a cement bags droopin' down
The cements just for the weight, dear, I bet you mack, he′s back in town
Louie Miller disappeared, dear, after drawing out his cash
And Macheath spends, like a sailor, did our boy do something rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Paulie Peach, Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear, now that Mackie's back in town
A-back in town
A-back in town
A-back in town
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 of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, lies a body oozing life
Someone sneaking around the corner, is the someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat by the river, a cement bags droopin' down
The cements just for the weight, dear, I bet you mack, he′s back in town
Louie Miller disappeared, dear, after drawing out his cash
And Macheath spends, like a sailor, did our boy do something rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Paulie Peach, Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear, now that Mackie's back in town
A-back in town
A-back in town
A-back in town
