LYRICS FOR "Mack the Knife"
Yeah the shark has such white teeth
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has Mack
And he keeps it out of sight
Johnny Whitey disappeared
After drawing out his cash
But Mack
Did our boy do something rash?
On a sidewalk Sunday morning
There's a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round a corner
Is that someone really mack the knife?
[Incomprehensible] job and [Incomprehensible] tawdriness
Jenny Diver and Lucy Brown
On a line forms
Now that Mack is back in town
