Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin (1959)

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old [?], babe

Where's MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red, oh, let it swing, yeah

On a sidewalk, blue sunday mornin'

Lies a body oozin' life

Some, someone's sneakin' 'round a corner

Tell me, could that someone be Old Mack the knife

There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know

Where a cement bag, just a droopin' on down

Yes, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear

Five'll go to gift you ten Old Macky's back in town

D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He got disappeared

After drawin' out all his hard earned cash

And now MacHeath will spend just like a sailor

Could it be our boy done somethin' rash

Jenny Diver, yeah, yeah, Sukey Tawdry

Hello Miss Lotte Lenya, good evening Lucy Brown

You know that line forms, way on the right, babe

Now, that Macky's back in old biggest town

I said, Jenny Diver, look out too, Sukey Tawdry

Sit back Miss Lotte Lenya and wait Old Lucy Brown

I mean, I tell you that line forms way on the right, babe

Now, that Macky's back in town

Look out, Old Macky is back
