Текст Bobby Darin — Mack the Knife

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
Out of sight

You know when that shark bites
With his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
Fancy gloves, though
Wears ol’ Macheath, babe
So there’s never, never a trace of red

Now, on the side walk, ooh Sunday morning, uh huh
Lies a body just oozing life. EEK!
And someone’s sneaking round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There’s a tugboat down by the river, don’t you know
Where a cement bag’s just a drooping on down
Oh that cement is just, it’s there for the weight, dear
Five’ll get ya ten, ol’ Mackie’s back in town

Now did ya hear ’bout 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 something rash?

Now, Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya, and ol’ Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie’s back in town

I said, Jenny Diver, oh Suky Tawdry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya, and ol’ Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie’s back in town
Look out ol’ Mackie is back!
