Mack The Knife

Kevin Spacey

    Continues after the ad

    Oh, the shark, babe has such teeth, dear
    And it shows them pearly white
    Just a jackknife has old macheath, babe
    And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

    You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
    Scarlet billows start to spread
    But fancy gloves though wears old macheath, babe
    So there's never, never a trace of red, darling

    Let the thing swing
    On the sidewalk, huh, huh, who sunday morning, uh huh
    Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
    And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
    Tell me, could that someone be 'mack the knife'?

    Continues after the ad

    There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don't you know?
    Where a cement bag's just a hangin' on down
    Oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear
    Five'll get you ten old macky's back in town

    Did you hear 'bout louie miller? He done disappeared, dear
    After drawin' out, feels good, all his hard earned cash
    And now macheath spends just like a sailor
    Could it be our boy's done something rash?
    Come on, come on

    Jenny diver, ho, ho, ho, sukey tawdry
    Hello miss lotte lenya, good evening, lucy brown
    Oh, the line forms way on the right, babe
    And now that macky's back in olderly town

    I said, "jenny diver, look out, sukey tawdry
    Stay back, lotte lenya, move it over lucy brown
    Oh the line forms way beyond the right, babe
    And now that macky's back in town"

    Look out, old macky is back!
