Artist: jimmie dale gilmore
Song: mack the knife
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites through his victim
Scarlet spreads amongst the green
But white gloves wears our Macheath, babe
And the blood is never seen
Seven children and their grandpa
In the fire near old Soho
Who's that creeping around the corner?
Doesn't speak and doesn't know
Solly Silverstein has vanished
Likewise other rich young men
And Macheath has all their money
Try and prove it if you can
Sookey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mackie's back in town
Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, babe
And he keeps them in his face
Just a jackknife has Macheath, babe
Keeps it in a different place
