All aboard Cleopatra purrs... aha
Pens and swords, the gun's mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We'll leave this hellhole
Little boy lost down devil's alley
The mad Alsatian can almost taste me
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Into the glow of traffic like a lava flow you'll see me
G
Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
Bb
I'll stagger out the nightclub black and blue, battered and bruised
F
I care not
Ab
But I care not
Bb

All aboard Cleopatra purrs... aha
Pens and swords, the gun's mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We'll leave this hellhole
Bb
Mack the Knife, strolling down the street
The Surgeons in the slaughterhouse, spice their diced meat
F
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
G
Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
Bb
I'll stagger out the nightclub black and blue, battered and bruised
