Testo Mack the knife - Johnny Dorelli
Testo della canzone Mack the knife (Johnny Dorelli), tratta dall'album Swingin'
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it, keeps it way out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scattered billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Macheath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk one Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
From a tug boat down by the river
A cement bag is dropping down
The seaman just for the weight, dear
You ought to bet Macky's back in town
Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out all his cash
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
Bobby Darrin, Armstrong, Frankie
They did this song, I think Ella too
They all sang it with so much feeling
I must be crazy, yes I am, to sing it too
Chucky Ferrio, lovely person
Great musician, he's the best
Sinfonietta is right here behind me
Am I lucky to sing with them?
Suzy Daughtry, Lenny Diver
Polly Beechum and Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky, yeah, Macky, yeah
Oh he's better, better than old Leroy Brown
You better lock your door and call the law
