Mack the knife - Bobby Darin tribute (cover)

Cover version by Pequinito.
Composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht.
Oh the shark babe has such teeth dear
And it shows 'em pearly white
Just a jackknife has ol' Macheath babe
And he keeps it outta sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears ol' Macheath babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk -huh huh- Sunday morning uh-huh
There lies a body, just oozin' life
And someone sneakin' round the corner
Could that someone be - Mack the knife
There's a tugboat down by the river, dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just droopin' on down
And that cement is just, it's there for the weight dear
Five'll getcha ten, ol' Mackie's back in town
Ah didja hear 'bout Louis Miller, he disappeared babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now Macheath spends like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash
Jenny Diver, -ho- Sukie Tawdry, oh Miss Lottie Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown
Yeah the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
I said Jenny Diver, -ho- look out Sukie Tawdry, look out for Miss Lottie Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown
Yes, the line forms way on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's ---- back in town
Look out, ol' Mackie's BACK!!!
