Lyle Lovett - Moritat (Mack The Knife) (From Quiz Show) - Sözleri

As performed by Lyle Lovett for the film Quiz Show:





See the shark with teeth like razors


You can read his open face


And Macheath, he's got a knife, and


In such an obvious place





On a beautiful blue Sunday,


See a corpse stretched in the Strand


See a man dodge 'round the corner...


Mackie's friends will understand.





Mr. Meier reported missing


Like so many wealthy men:


Mack the knife acquired his cashbox


God alone knows how or when





Jenny Towler, she turned up lately


With a knife stuck through her breast


While Macheath, he walks the embankment,


Nonchalantly unimpressed





And the ghastly fire in Soho,


Seven children at a go--


In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but


He isn't asked, he doesn't know





And the child bride in her nightgown,


Whose assailants still at large


Violated in her slumbers


Mackie how much did you charge?





Yes, the child bride in her nightgown


Whose assailants still at large


Violated in her slumbers


Mackie how much did you charge?





Mackie how much did you charge?


How much did you charge?


How much did you charge?


How much did you charge?


How much did you charge?








THE BALLAD OF MACK THE KNIFE (COMPLETE VERSION)





Ballad of Mack the knife (Trans. John Willett):





See the shark has teeth like razors


All can read his open face


And Macheath has got a knife, but


Not in such an obvious place





See the shark, How red his fins are


As he slashes at his prey


Mac the Knife wears white kid gloves which


Give the minimum away





By the Thames turbid waters,


Men abruptly tumble down


IIs it plague, or is it cholera?


Or a sign Macheath's in town?





On a beautyful blue Sunday,


See a corpse stretched on the Strand


See a man dodge around the corner...


Mackie's friend's will understand.





And Schul Meier who is missing


Like so many wealthy men:


Mack the knife aquired his cashbox


God alone knows how or when





Jenny Towler turned up lately


With a knife stuck in her breast


While Macheath walked the embankment,


Nonchalantly unimpressed





Where is Alfred Gleet the cabman?


Who can get that story clear?


All the world may know the answer,


but Macheath has no idea





And the ghastly fire in Soho,


Seven children at a go--


In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but


He's not asked and doesn't know





And the child bride in her nightie,


Whose assailant's still at large


Violated in her slumbers--


Mackie how much did you charge?
