Lyrics
Oh, the poor shark Yes, the sweet shark It has big teeth Buried deep
Then there's macheath With his big knife But it's hidden In his slip
And this same shark This poor sweet shark It sheds red blood When it bleeds
Mackie big knife Wears a white glove Pure in word and Pure in deed
Sunday morning Lovely blue sky There's a corpse stretched On the strand
Who's the man cruisin' The corner ? Well, it's mackie Knife in hand
Jenny towler Poor wee jenny There they found her Knife in breast
Mackie's wandering On the west pier Hoping only For the best
Mind, that fire burnt All through soho Seven kids dead One old flower
Hey there, mackie How is she cuttin' ? Have another Hold your hour
And those sweet babes Under sixteen Story goes that Black and blue
For the price of One good screwing Mackie, mackie How could you ?
For the price of One good screwing Mackie, mackie How could you ?
