Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly whites
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, ooh, Sunday mornin', uh-huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know?
Where a cement bag's just a-droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get you ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'you hear 'bout Louis Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash?
Now Jenny Diver, oh, oh, yeah, Sookie Taudry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sookie Taudry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back!
