About MackTheKnife:

I am an average guy, leading an average life. I work from 9 to 5, oh yes I pay the price. All I want is to be left alone in my average home. So why do I always feel like I'm in the twilight zone?

 


He had bought a large map representing the sea,
 Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
 A map they could all understand.

“What’s the good of Mercator’s North Poles and Equators,
 Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?”
So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
 “They are merely conventional signs!

“Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
 But we’ve got our brave Captain to thank:
(So the crew would protest) “that he’s bought us the best —
 A perfect and absolute blank!”
