Mack the Knife - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe

And he keeps it outta sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, ooh, Sunday morning, uh huh

Lies a body just oozin' life, eek!

And someone's sneaking 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, ah, ah, uh huh, down by the river, don't you know?

Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear

Five'll get ya ten, old Mackie's back in town

Now did ya hear about Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe

After drawing out all his hard-earned cash

And now Macheath spends just like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Na, na, Jenny Diver, ho ho, hey, Suky Tawdry

Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, babe

Now that Mackie's back in town

I said, Jenny Diver, woah, Suky Tawdry

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Mackie's back in town

Look out, old Mackie is back!
