Moritat (Mack The Knife) |
| See the shark with teeth like razors |
| You can read his open face |
| And Macheath, he’s got a knife, and |
| In such an obvious place |
| On a beautiful blue Sunday, |
| See a corpse stretched in the Strand |
| See a man dodge 'round the corner… |
| Mackie’s friends will understand. |
| Mr. Meier reported missing |
| Like so many wealthy men: |
| Mack the knife acquired his cashbox |
| God alone knows how or when |
| Jenny Towler, she turned up lately |
| With a knife stuck through her breast |
| While Macheath, he walks the embankment, |
| Nonchalantly unimpressed |
| And the ghastly fire in Soho, |
| Seven children at a go-- |
| In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but |
| He isn’t asked, he doesn’t know |
| And the child bride in her nightgown, |
| Whose assailants still at large |
| Violated in her slumbers |
| Mackie how much did you charge? |
| Yes, the child bride in her nightgown |
| Whose assailants still at large |
| Violated in her slumbers |
| Mackie how much did you charge? |
| Mackie how much did you charge? |
| How much did you charge? |
| How much did you charge? |
| How much did you charge? |
| How much did you charge? |
