Dee Snider - Mack The Knife Lyrics






Oh, the shark, babe, had such teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows, start to spread
Fancy gloves oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin'
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river
Where a cement bag's just a'droopping on down
Oh that cement just is for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old MacHeath's back in town

Now did you hear about Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Now Jenny Diver, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that MacHeath's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that MacHeath's back in town

Look out, old Macky is back!

    this is so badass Dee Schneider should do a whole album of standards metal Style"🤘🌛🎸🎼🎵🎶🔈🔉🔊🎙️🎹🎷🗡️ badass Tune!!!!!!!!!

    M.... B....

    He did. This is from that very album- it's called 'Dee Does Broadway.'

  9. S.... ....

    Heh. The dude's wearing a shirt that says "Bent Brother..." Made me chuckle.

    S.... ....

    Im five years late, but Bent Brother is a real thing. its a "cover" band who consists of people who "sound and look" like the members of twisted sister, out of character. If they do smaller less publicized tours or perform out of makeup, thats the name they use.

  10. C.... ....
