Mack the Stiff (Part Two)

Mack, Mackie or MacHeath
His names not inspiring the fear of days past
But "Mack the Knife" should do the job
He reflects, sharpening his blade
Suki Tawdry has betrayed him
She, and his other "pets," seeking freedom
"A union of whores," he seethes
And Jenny Diver has acquired a hired gun
Some vicious bitch known as "Enigma Rose"
Not much better than an urban legend
Far from qualified to bring him down
"You see," Mack chuckles, "sluts never triumph
And it's time mine learned some respect."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Enigma Rose hones the edge of her own blade
The katana once wielded by a samurai
Mack's words are carried on the hot air
The refrain of "sluts never triumph" reaching her ears
And Enigma smiles, knowing the truth...
