Frank Sinatra - Mack the knife
------------------------------------------

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear 
And he shows 'em, pearly white 
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear 
And he keeps it, keeps it way out of sight 

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear 
Scarlet billows, they begin to spread 
Fancy white gloves though has Macheath, dear 
So there's rarely, never one trace of red 

On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin' 
Lies a body oozin' life 
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner 
Could that someone, perhaps, perchance, be Mack the Knife? 

From a tugboat on the river goin' slow 
A cement bag, it is dropping down 
Yeah, the cement is just for the weight, dear 
You can make a large bet Macheath is back in town 

My man Louie Miller, he split the scene, babe 
After drawin' out all the bread from his stash 
Now Macheath spends just like a pimp, babe 
Do you suppose that our boy, he did something rash? 

Ah, old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin 
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too 
They all sang it, with so much feeling 
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new 

But with Quincy's big band, right behind me 
Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose 
When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe 
It's an offer, you can never refuse 

We got George Benson, we got Newman  Foster 
We got the Brecker Brothers, and Hampton's bringing up the rear 
All these bad cats, and more, are in the band now 
They make the greatest sounds, you ever gonna hear 

Hey Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown 
Oh the line forms, on the right dear 
Now that Macheath, I mean that man Macheath 
Yeah he's bad, mercy mercy 
Yeah he's badder than old Leroy Brown 
You better lock your door, and call the law 
Because Macheath's, that bum, 
He's back in town
