Mack The Knife Lyrics

Westlife

Oh the shark, babe has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath, babe
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 macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, oh sunday morning uh huh
Lies a body just oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife?

From a tug boat down by the river don't you know
With cement bag just droopin' on down
Oh that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get you ten old Mackie's back in town

Now did ya hear about Louie miller, he disappeared, dear
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, Sukey Tawdrey
Polly peachum, and old lucy brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that mack is back in town

Jenny Diver,oh, oh Sukey Tawdrey
Polly peachum, and old lucy brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that mackie's back in town

Look out old Mackie's back!
