{t:Mack The Knife}
{st:Bobby Darin (Weill & Brecht, 1928)}


Oh, the [C] shark, babe,
has such [Dm] teeth, dear
And it [G7] shows them 
pearly [C] white
Just a [Am] jackknife 
has old Mack [Dm] Heath, babe
And he [G7] keeps it, ah,
out of [C] sight


Ya know when that [C] shark bites 
with his [Dm] teeth, babe
Scarlet [G7] billows 
start to [C] spread
Fancy [Am] gloves, oh, 
wears old Mack [Dm] Heath, babe
So there's [G7] never, never
a trace of [C] red


Now on the [C] sidewalk huh-huh, 
oooh Sunday [Dm] morning uh huh
Lies a [G7] body
just oozin' [C] life
And  someone's [Am] sneakin' 
'round the [Dm] corner
Could that [G7] someone
be Mack the [C] Knife?


There's a [C] tugboat huh-huh-huh
down by the [Dm] river don't you know
With a [G7] cement bag 
just'a drooping on [C] down
Oh, that [Am] cement is just, 
it's there for the [Dm] weight, dear
Five'll [G7] get you ten ol'
Mackie's back in [C] town


Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie [C] Miller? 
He disap[Dm]peared, babe
After [G7] drawin' out 
all his hard-earned [C] cash
And now Mack [Am] Heath spends
just like a [Dm] sailor
Could it [G7] be our boy's 
done somethin' [C] rash?


Now Jenny [C] Diver ho - ho -yeah
Sookie Tau[Dm]dry
Oooh, Miss [G7] Lottie Lenya,
and old Lucy [C] Brown
Oh, the [Am] line forms
on the [Dm] right, babe
Now that [G7] Mackie's
back in [C] town


I said [C] Jenny Diver, whoa
Sookie Tau[Dm]dry,
Look out for Miss [G7] Lottie Lenya, 
and old Lucy [C] Brown
Yes, that [Am] line forms 
on the [Dm] right, babe
Now that [G7] Mackie's...
back in [C] town...   [C] 


Look out old Mackie's back!
