mack the knife
Nick covered this in a segment in September Songs: A Tribute to Kurt Weill  See the shark with teeth like razors And he wears them in his face And Macheath has got a knife But not in such an obvious place  Now see the shark, how red his fins are As he slashes at his prey Mack the Knife wears fancy gloves Which gives a minimum away  By the Thames' turbid waters Men abruptly tumble down Well is it plague, or is it cholera Or because Macky's in town?  And the child bride, in her nighty Whose assailant's still at large Violated in her slumbers Macky how much did you charge?  In the ghastly fire in Soho Seven children had a go In the crowd stands Mack the Knife But he isn't asked and he don't know  In the crowd stands Mack The Knife But he ain't asked and he don't know.
