Mack The Knife
Hildegard Knef
Oh the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has macheath, dear
And he keeps 'em out of sight
On a blue and barmy sunday
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Is that someone mack the knife?
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
Jenny towler was discovered
With a jack-knife in her breast
And macheath strolled down the dockside
Knows no more than the rest
And the widow, not yet twenty
Everybody calls her miss
Woke one morning, violated
But will macky pay for this
There are some that live in darkness
And the others live in light
And you see the ones in brightness
Those in darkness drop from sight
And you see the ones in brightness
Those in darkness drop from sight
