   Mack The Knife(Live At The Hollywood Bowl / 1956 / Edit)

 

 

  Oh, the shark, has, pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them, pearly white

  Just a jackknife, has MacHeath, yeah.....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, yeah..so there's not a trace, hmmmm of red

  

  On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, ...lies a body oozin' life

  Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner...is the someone, Mack the Knife?

  

  From a tugboat.... by the river..... a cement bag's, droopin' down

  Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear...bet you Mack, he's 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 Macky's back in town

  

  'Take it Satch'
