Mack the Knife Lyrics by Sabertooth Swing

Extinct Possibilities

2018

[Verse 1]
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them so pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, yes he keeps it out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
[Verse 2]
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, on a sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin', sneakin’ 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's is a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is for, just for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya, five'll get ya ten now that Mack is back in town
[Verse 3]
Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? Yes, he disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends, he spends just like a sailor
Could it be our, could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, yes and Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and you know miss Lucy Brown
Oh, that line forms over on the right, babe
Now that Macky, now that Mack is back in town
