MACK THE KNIFE

Oh, the shark has__pretty teeth, dear__
and he shows them__pearly white
Just a jack-knife__has Mac-heath, dear__
and he keeps it___out of sight.

When the shark bites__with his teeth, dear__
scarlet bil-lows__start to spread___
Fancy gloves, though__wears Mac-heath, dear__
so there’s not a__trace of red

1st Chorus:
On the side-walk__Sunday morning___
lies a body__oozing life;__some one’s sneaking
‘round the corner__Is the someone___
Mack the knife

From a tug-boat__by the river___
A ce-ment bag’s__dropping down___
The ce-ment’s just__for the weight, dear___
Bet you Mack-ie’s __back in town___

2nd Chorus:
Mil-ler__disappeared, dear___
after drawing__out his cash;
and Mac-heath spends__like a sailor___
Did our boy do__something rash?

Su-key Taw-dry__Jen-ny Div-er___
Pol-ly Peach...um__Lu-cy Brown____
oh, the line forms__on the right, dear___
Now that Mack-ie’s ___back in town.
