Lyle Lovett - Moritat (Mack The Knife) Lyrics
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
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
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?

Beautiful.
Among all mack the knife I love this one most
A metaphor for television's all consuming power
amazing.X
I'll have to rewatch the movie. I don't recall this at all. Seems unusual given the film's plot.
Its in the closing credits.
it is played during the closing credits
Beautiful and haunting.
This translation really captures the sense of menace the character of Macheath deserves.
!! Excelente !!... !!Felicidades !!
