Mack The Knife — текст песни (Lisa Stansfield)

(k. weill/b. brecht/m. blitzestien)



Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has macheath, dear

And he keeps it out of sight



When the shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears macheath, dear

So theres not a trace of red



On the sidewalk, sunday morning

Lies a body oozing life

Someones sneaking round the corner

Ill bet that someone, someones mack the knife



From a tug boat by the river

A cement bags dropping down

The cements just, just for the weight, dear

Bet you, Ill bet you mack is back in town



Louie miller, he disappeared, dear

After drawing out his cash

And macheath spends like a sailor

Did the boy, did the boy do something rash?



Sukey tawdry, jenny diver

Polly peachum, and lucy brown

Oh the line forms on the right, dear

Now that mackys back in town (x2)
