Lyrics
The shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, has Macheath, dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat by the river, baby
A cement bag's drooping down
And the cement's for the weight, dear
That drew Macheath back to town
Louis Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out all his cash
And Macheath spent like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
Sukie Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lottie Lanier, sweet Lucy Brown
The line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macheath's back in town
