WESTLIFE LYRICS - Mack The Knife

"Mack The Knife"



Oh the shark, Babe, has such teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, dear

And he keeps it out of sight



You know when the shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, dear

So there's never, never a trace of red



Now, on the sidewalk, sunday morning

Lies a body, just oozing life

Someone's sneaking round the corner

Could that someone mack the knife?



There's a tug boat down by the river, don't you know

Where's cement bag's just a drooping on down

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

Five'll get you ten, old Macky's back in town



Did you hear about Louie miller? He disappeared, babe

After drawing out, all his hard earned cash

And now MacHeath spends like a sailor

Could it be our boy's done something rash?



Now jenny diver, ho ho, yeah Sukey tawdry,

Ooh Ms Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right, babe

Now that mack is back in town



Ahh I said Jenny Diver, whoa Sukey Tawdry

Look out 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!!
