Album:
That´s All
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it…out of sight


Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s nevah, nevah a trace of red


Now on the sidewalk…sunny mornin'
Lies a body just oozin’ life… eeek!
And someone’s sneakin’ ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?


A-there’s a tugboat…down by the river don’tcha 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 Macky’s back in town.


Now, d’ja hear ‘bout 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 done somethin’ rash?


Now Jenny Diver…Sukey Tawdry       
Ooh…Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown 
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town.


Aah…I said Jenny Diver…whoa… Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town… 


Look out old Macky is back!
