Rickie Lee Jones - Mack The Knife lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - Mack The Knife lyrics]
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
Ahh, a body? oozing life
Creeping 'round the corner i wonder
If that someone is mack the Knife?
(Hey pphhht) 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 (ooooh) louis Armstrong
Bobby Darren and your true LEE, yeah
They got this act down
On dear 'ole Rampart Street
'caus we all think that maybe mackie's back
Shhh mackie is back
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
Ahh, a body? oozing life
Creeping 'round the corner i wonder
If that someone is mack the Knife?
(Hey pphhht) 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

And Miss Lucy Brown (come on) the line forms
On the right now that Mackie's back in town
