Maybe we could just do a New Rendition of .... Mack the Knife Words by Berthold Brecht and Music by Kurt Weill English words added by Marc Blitzstein written in 1928 for "Theme From the Threepenny Opera" and introduced in that production by Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe.....and he keeps it, out of sight When that shark bites with his teeth, dear....scarlet billows start to spread Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe..and he never shows a single drop of red On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, commin' down...lies a body oozin' life Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner...could that someone be Mack the Knife? (instrumental break) There's a tugboat....down by the river.....with a cement bag, hangin' down Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear...five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe...after he withdrew all his cash Now MacHeath spends like a sailor...could it be our boy's...done somethin' rash? There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry..Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town I said that line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Armstrong recorded this song in September 1955, the song and the opera were unknown even to opera fans.
