Mack the Knife - Frank Sinatra/Hank Jones.lrc

LRC Lyrics download
[00:16.08] Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
[00:21.42] And he shows 'em, pearly white
[00:28.26] Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
[00:36.93] And he keeps it way out of sight
[00:42.36] When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
[00:49.05] Scarlet billows they begin to spread
[00:55.20] Fancy white gloves has Macheath dear
[01:02.79] So there's never, never a trace of red
[01:09.78] On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
[01:17.04] Lies a body, oozin' life
[01:23.43] Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
[01:30.87] Could that someone perhaps, per chance be Mack the Knife
[01:40.92] From a tugboat, on the river going slow
[01:42.84] A cement bag is dropping down
[01:52.29] You know that cement is for the weight dear
[01:58.50] You can make a large bet Macheath's in town
[02:05.01] My man Louis Miller, he split the scene babe
[02:12.45] After drawing out all the bread from his stash
[02:22.35] Now Macheath spends like a sailor
[02:25.83] Do you suppose this guy, he did something rash
[02:34.38] Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
[02:40.05] They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
[02:48.21] They all sang it, with so much feeling
[02:53.82] That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
[03:01.38] But with this big, fat band, jumping behind me
[03:07.62] Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose
[03:14.55] When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe
[03:21.54] It's an offer, you can never refuse
[03:28.17] We got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that piano
[03:35.01] And this wonderful, great big band, bringing up the rear
[03:43.53] All these bad cats, in this band now
[03:49.38] They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear
[03:56.88] Oh Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown
[04:13.32] Hey the line forms, on the right dear
[04:17.07] Now that Macheath,that bum is back in town
[04:30.99] You'd better lock your doors, and call the law
[04:34.50] Because Mackie's back in town

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves has Macheath dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone perhaps, per chance be Mack the Knife
From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet Macheath's in town
My man Louis Miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose this guy, he did something rash
Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
But with this big, fat band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose
When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe
It's an offer, you can never refuse
We got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that piano
And this wonderful, great big band, bringing up the rear
All these bad cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear

Hey the line forms, on the right dear
