Meade probably doesn't have the chops for 'Mack the Knife' but he certainly has the teeth for it.
lyrics in the original German,
Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne,
Und die trägt er im Gesicht.
Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer,
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht.
English translation by Marc Blitzstein for the 1950s Broadway Production.
Oh the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
On second thought "Pearly teeth" doesn't describe Meade's teeth at all.
