Текст песни "Mack The Knife"


Jimmy Buffett and Frank Sinatra Duet

Hey that shark has pretty teeth dear
and he shows 'em pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of site

When that shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves has Macheath dear
So theres never, never a trace of red

On a sidewalk one Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round that corner
Could that someone perhaps b'chance be Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet that bum's in town (Ya he's in town)

My man Louie Miller he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose this guy he did something rash?

'Ol satchmo Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin
They did this song nice lady Ella too
They all sang it with so much feeling
That 'ol blue eyes he ain't gonna add anything new (Oh yes you do)

But with this big fat band jumpin' behind me
Swingin hard Jack (Thats Jimmy Frank) 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've got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that piano
And this wonderful great big band bringing up the rear
All these mad cats in this band now
they make the greatest sound your ever gonna hear

Oh Sukey Tawdry (Oh Sukey Tawdry), Jenny Diver (Jenny Diver)
Polly Peachum (I know her well) Mrs Lulu Brown
Ya the line forms on the right dear
Now that Macheath (Oh Macheath) Ya that bum is back (Oh that bum he's back)
And Im gonna tell you what the heck that you should do (What should I do?)
You better lock your door and call the law because Macheath he's come back to
town

(Spoken)
Get under the bed, hide, goto the clubs, or anyplace goto where he
cannot get you
(Sang)
