Lyle Lovett
Moritat

(Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill)
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?...


Mirror lyrics:

How much did you charge?...
How much did you charge?
How much did you charge?
How much did you charge?
Mackie how much did you charge?

Mackie how much did you charge?
Violated in her slumbers
Whose assailants still at large
Yes, the child bride in her nightgown

Mackie how much did you charge?
Violated in her slumbers
Whose assailants still at large
And the child bride in her nightgown

He isn't asked, he doesn't know.
In the crowd stands Mac the knife, but
Seven children at a go
And the ghastly fire in Soho

Nonchalantly unimpressed.
While Macheath, he walks the embankment,
With a knife stuck through her breast
Jenny Towler, she turned up lately

God alone knows how or when.
Mack the knife acquired his cashbox
Like so many wealthy men:
Mr. Meier reported missing

Mackie's friends will understand.
See a man dodge 'round the corner...
See a corpse stretched in the Strand
On a beautiful blue Sunday,

In such an obvious place.
And Macheath, he's got a knife, and
You can read his open face
See the shark with teeth like razors
