Mack The Knife

(альбом: Kicks - 2019)

Oh, the shark has
A "perfect tooth-act"
He likes to show
The pearly whites
The jackknife
Has old MacHeath
And he keeps her
Out of sight

The shark bites
With her teeth, sir
Scarlet billows start
To spread
Fancy Gloves has
Old MacHeath
And there's never-a-trace of red

Out on the sidewalk
On Sunday morning
Ah, a body, oozing life
Creeping 'round the corner
I wonder
If that someone is
Mack the Knife?

Hey, a tugboat
Went down on the river
There's cement bag
A drooping on down
'Cause that cement is there
For the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten then
Mr. Mackie's back in town

Did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller?
He disappeared
After drawing out
All his hard-earned cash
And his MacHeath
Spending like a sailor
Ya think that boy did something rash?

Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Lookout Miss Lotte Lenya
And Miss Lucy Brown
Come on, the line forms
On the right
Now that Mackie's back in town

Jenny Diver
Louis Armstrong
Bobby Darren
And your true Lee, yeah
They got this act down
On dear, 'ole Rampart Street
'Cause we all think that maybe
Mackie's back
Shhh... Mackie is back
