Retro Lyrics


MACK THE KNIFE

Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has MacHeath dear

And he keeps it out of sight

 

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

 

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag's dropping down

The cement's just for the weight dear

Bet you Mackie's back in town

 

On the sidewalk Sunday morning

Lies a body oozing life

Someone's sneaking 'round the corner

Is that someone Mack the Knife

 

Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawing out his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

Did our boy do something rash

 

Sukey Tawdry Jenny Diver

Polly Peachum Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Now that Mackie's back in town
