F 
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 
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

Every time I dance with you
