Sting sings Brecht Die Moritat vom Räuber Mackie Messer (Musik Kurt Weill) Dreigroschenoper

And the shark has teeth

and he wears them in his face

and MacHeath, he has a knife

Still the knife no one sees.

On a beautiful blue Sunday

lays a dead man on the beach

and a man goes around the corner,

the one called Mack the Knife.

And Schmul Meier remains missing

so many a rich man

and his money has Mack the Knife

of whom nothing can be proven.

Jenny Towler was found

with a knife in the chest

on the wharf goes Mack the Knife

of whom nothing is known.

And the great fire in Soho

Seven children and a old man-

in the crowd, Mack the Knife

no one asks and no one knows.

And the underage widow

of whose name everyone knows

Woke up and was desecrated

Mackie, what was your price?
