Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
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, uh-huh-huh, oh, a sunny mornin', uh-huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
Eeek! And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Oh, there's some tough folk toughed
Up 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 done disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all of his hard-earned cash
And now Macheath spends like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Ah, ah, ah, Jenny Diver, oh, oh, yeah
Sukie Tawdry, ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya
And old Lucy Brown
You know that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in old New York town
I said Jenny Diver, look out, Sukie Tawdry
Stay back, Miss Lotte Lenya
Move it over, Miss Lucy Brown
You know that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back! (Hit it, Bobby!)
