Die Moritat Von Mackie Messer

Kurt Weill Kurt Weill

The Ballad of Mack the Knife

And the shark, he has teeth
And he wears them in his face
And Macheath, he has a knife
But the knife is not seen

Oh, it's the shark's fins
Red, when it sheds blood
Mack the Knife wears a glove
Where no crime is read

On a beautiful blue Sunday
A dead man lies on the beach
And a man walks around the corner
Who is called Mack the Knife

And Schmul Meier remains missing
And many a rich man
And his money has Mack the Knife
Who can't be proven anything

Jenny Towler was found
With a knife in her chest
And on the quay walks Mack the Knife
Who knew nothing of everything

And the big fire in Soho
Seven children and an old man
In the crowd Mack the Knife, whom
No one asks and who knows nothing

And the underage widow
Whose name everyone knows
Woke up and was violated
Mackie, what was your price?
Woke up and was violated
Mackie, what was your price?
