Lyrics

[00:00.955] See the shark has teeth like razors
[00:06.204] All can read his open face
[00:11.450] And Macheath has got a knife, but
[00:16.953] Not in such an obvious place
[00:21.204][00:21.204]
[00:23.201] See the shark, How red his fins are
[00:28.205] As he slashes at his prey
[00:33.209] Mack the Knife wears white kid gloves which
[00:38.702] Give the minimum away
[00:42.706][00:42.207]
[01:06.704] By the Thames turbid waters,
[01:11.951] Men abruptly tumble down
[01:17.454] Is it plague, or is it cholera?
[01:22.703] Or a sign Macheath's in town?
[01:26.951][01:26.107]
[01:28.959] On a beautiful blue Sunday,
[01:33.709] See a corpse stretched on the Strand
[01:38.956] See a man dodge around the corner...
[01:44.459] Mackie's friend's will understand.
[02:11.210][01:47.364]
[02:12.450] And the ghastly fire in Soho,
[02:17.954] Seven children at a go
[02:22.962] In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but
[02:28.954] He's not asked and doesn't know
[02:47.958][02:46.816]
