Lyrics

Mack The Knife (Special Edition)
Michael Buble
Oh, the shark has pearly teeth dear
And it shows them, pearly whites
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
And it keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites
With its teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though wear old Macheath dear
So there's never, never ever a trace of red
On the side road, one sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife
There's a tugboat, down by the river, don't you know
With a cement bag just dropping on down
Oh, that cement is just
It's there for the weight dear
'O five againt ten old Mackie's back in town
Did you hear about Louis Miller
He disappeared babe
After drawing out all his hard-earned cash
Now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Could that boy, have done something rash
(improvisation)
I tell you 'Look out' old Macheath's back
