Dig, man, there goes Mack The Knife! Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear And it shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear And he keeps it out of sight When the shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy

And she knew Going on with the show Come on baby Frankie died just the other night Some say it was suicide But we know How the story goes With his six string knife And his street wise pride

You'll just let her go The lights go out The show goes on She leaves town If you know what's good for you Or you'll end up next to me in her sideshow She's a big top ten with bright spotlights That woman sure knows how to shine You almost can't believe

Catch the wind, see us spin But the wind won't blow You really shouldn't go That you will be mine By takin' our time, ooh Sail away, leave today Way up high in the sky, hey whoa Only goes to show And if I say to you tomorrow

It's in the way that you use it Boy don't you know It comes and it goes So don't you ever abuse it Don't let it go And if you lie you will lose it Feelings will show Nobody's right until somebody's wrong Nobody's weak until somebody's strong

Any man of mine better walk the line Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time I need a man who knows, how the story goes He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fire breathin' Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind Any man of mine This is what a woman wants

I wanna tell you something, give you something Show you in so many ways 'Cause it would all mean nothing if I don't say something before it all goes away Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers, waste another hour let alone another day I'm gonna tell you

They say they ready for whatever! One for the money, two for the show They say they ready for whatever Three for them hoes saying anything goes I been around the world, twice to be exact Six bad bitches and they lapped up in the back And you know it

When you break up in a small town She would get down with somebody I know I guess that's just how it goes I see our friends and they put on a show Like they don't want me to know So they give me the go-around I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
