Минусовка «Louis Armstrong – Mack The Knife».

 

OH, THE SHARK, BABE, HAS SUCH TEETH, DEAR,
AND HE SHOWS THEM PEARLY WHITE.
JUST THAT JACK-KNIFE HAS OLD MACKHIT, BABE,
AND HE KEEPS IT OUT OF SIGHT.


YOU KNOW WHEN THAT SHARK BITES WITH HIS TEETH, BABE
SCARLET BILLOWS START TO SPREAD.
AND SHE GLOWS THOUGH AS OLD MACKHIT, BABE,
SO THERE’S NEVER, NEVER A TRACE OF RED


NOW ON A SIDEWALK ON A SUNDAY MORNING
LIES A BODY JUST OOZING LIFE.
SOMEONE’S SNEAKING AROUND THE CORNER-
COULD THAT SOMEONE BE MACK THE KNIFE?


THERE’S A TUG-BOAT DOWN BY THE RIVER, DON’T YOU KNOW?
WHERE THE SEAMEN BATHE JUST TROOPING ON DOWN.
OH, THAT’S THE MESSAGE JUST IT’S THERE FOR THE WAIT, DEAR,
BET YOU, GET YOU MACK IS BACK IN TOWN.


NOW HEAR ABOUT LOUIS MILLER? HE’S DISAPPERED,BABE,
AFTER DRAWING OUT ALL HIS MODERATE CASH,
AND NOW MACKHIT BEEN JUST LIKE A SAILOR-
COULD IT BE THAT BOY’S DONE SOMETHING RASH?


YES, JENNY DIVER AND SUSIE TAWDRY,
OH, MISS LULLA LINEW AND OLD LUCY BROWN,
OH, THE LYING BONES ARE ON THE RIGHT, BABE,
NOW THAT MACKHIT’S BACK IN TOWN. TAKE IT SUCH!
