Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife (Lyrics On-Screen and in Description)
No copyright intended.
On a personal note, this is the song that made me fall in love with Bobby Darin.
Lyrics:
Oh the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear
And it shows them
Pearly white
Just a jack knife
Has old MacHeath, babe
And it keeps it, uh
Out of sight
You know when that shark bites
With its teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
Star to spread
Fancy gloves, though
Wears old MacHeath babe
So there’s never,
Never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, a-huh, huh
Ooh, sunny morning, a-huh
Likes a body
Just a-oozing life, ekk!
And someone’s sneakin’
’Round the corner
Could that someone
Be Mack the Knife?
There’s a tugboat, huh, huh, a-huh
Down by the river, don’cha know?
Where a cement bag
Just a-droopin’ on down
Oh, that cement is just,
It’s there for the weight, dear
Five’ll get ya’
Ten ol’ Macky’s back in town
Did you hear about Louie Miller?
He disappeared, babe
After drawin’ out
All his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath spends
Just like a sailor
Could it be our boy’s
Down something rash?
Ah, Jenny Diver
Yeah, Suki Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya
And ole’ Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms
On the right, babe
Now that Macky’s
Back in town
I said Jenny Diver
Whoa, Suki Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya
And ole’ Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms
On the right, babe
Now that Macky’s
Back in town
Look out ol’ Macky is back!
