Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack‐knife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites
with its 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
Ooh Sunday mornin', uh huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife
There's a tugboat, huh huh uh huh
Down by the river, don't you know
Well 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
Mackie's back in town
Now d'you hear about Louie 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
somethin' rash
Now Jenny Diver, hup ho,
yeah Sukey Tawdry
Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
I said Jenny Diver, woh Sukey Tawdry
Look out
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
Look out, old Mackie's back
