Mack the Knife Rickie Lee Jones

[Verse 1]
Oh, the shark has a perfect tooth-act
He likes to show the pearly whites
A jackknife has old Macheath
And he keeps it out of sight

[Verse 2]
The shark bites with her teeth, sir
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves has old Macheath
And there's never a trace of red

[Verse 3]
Out on the sidewalk on Sunday morning
Ah, a body oozing life
Creeping 'round the corner
I wonder if that someone is Mack the Knife?

[Verse 4]
Hey, a tugboat went down on the river
There's a cement bag a-drooping on down
'Cause that cement is there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten then Mr. Mackie's back in town

[Verse 5]
Did ya hear about Louie Miller? Huh, disappeared
After drawing out all his hard-earned cash
And it's Macheath spending like a sailor
You think that boy did something rash?
