Stealing softly through the night
See the shadow of Mack the Knife,
He's come to steal your dreams away,
To sell them off and make them pay.
Billy and Runaround Sue
They know exactly what to do,
They've found a dream that's new
They're gonna keep it safe for me and you.
Through the alley and down the hall
Mack the Knife will chase you all
With dark intent and thoughts unkind
He creeps up on you from behind
Billy and Runaround SueThey know exactly what to do
Fight to keep a dream alive
Hungry hearts shout out,I will survive
Chorus
Close the door put out the light
Mack the Knife is out tonight
Take your dreams and hold them tight
Or you'll get lost in the night.
From the Thames and up The Strand
See the shadow of a darker man
The ghastly fire in Soho
Seven Children at a go.
Billy and Runaround Sue
They know exactly what to do,
They've found a dream that's new
They're gonna keep it safe for me and you.
Repeat Chorus
