here i'll stay / mack the knife (wacky version) - dee dee bridgewater lyrics

[part i: here i’ll stay]

[verse]
if i’ve no will to go from home
or have no urge the seas to roam
or turn my back on a distant star
and never burn to wander far
it’s not because of fear
it’s because my goal is clear

[chorus]
there’s a far land, i’m told
where i’ll find a field of gold
but here i’ll stay with you
and they say there’s an isle deep with clover
where your heart wears a smile all day through
but i know well they’re wrong
and i know where i belong
and here i’ll stay with you
for that land is a sandy illusion
it’s the theme of a dream gone astray
and the world others woo
i can find loving you
and so here i’ll stay

[instrumental]
[chorus]
for that land is a sandy illusion
it’s the theme of a dream gone astray
and the world others woo
i can find loving you
and so here i’ll stay

[part ii: mack the knife (wacky version)]

[verse 1]
oh, the shark has pearly t**th, dear
and he shows them pearly whites
just a jackknife has macheath, dear
and he keeps it out of sight

[verse 2]
when the shark bites, oh, with his t**th, dear
scarlet billows start to spread
fancy gloves wears macheath, dear
so there’s not a trace of red

[verse 3]
on the sidewalk sunday morning
lies a body oozing life
someone’s sneaking ’round the corner
could it be mack the knife?
[verse 4]
on a tugboat down by the river
whoo, lies–
(laughter)
could it be
oh baby, could it be mack the knife?

[verse 5]
on a–
louie miller–
i’m lost, i don’t know where i am
oh, all in cash
you all see that cat named macheath, dear?
i’m telling you he’s spending
did our boy do something rash?

[verse 6]
sukey tawdry, jenny diver
polly peachum, and old lucy brown
i said the line forms on the right, dear
now that mackie, he is back in town

[scat]

[verse 7]
said the line forms on my right dear
now that mackie’s, mackie is back in town
[verse 8, spoken]
said, the shark has pearly t**th, dear
and you know he shows them pearly whites
just a jackknife has macheath, dear
and he keeps it–

[verse 9]
the shark bites with his t**th, dear
scarlet billows start to spread
fancy gloves wears macheath, dear
so there’s not a trace of red
