Mack The Knife
(written by: JonR)
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Rickamaven, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old Rickamaven, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Maven the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Rickamaven's back in town
Now d'ja hear ‘bout Da-Glyde? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now Rickamaven spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Maven'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 Maven's back in town
Look out, old Maven's back!!
