Oh the shark babe
has such teeth dear
And it shows them
pearly whites
Just a jackknife
has old MacHeath babe
And he keeps it
out of sight
You know
when the 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
On the sidewalk
Oo sunny morning uh huh
Lies a body
just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin'
'round the corner
Could that someone
be Mack the Knife
A-there's a tugboat
uh huh huh
Down by the river
don't ya know
Where a cement bag's
just a droopin' on down
Oo that cement is just
It's there for the weight dear
Five'll get you ten
Old Macky's back in town
Now ya hear 'bout 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
Oh Jenny Diver
Oo Sukey Tawdry
Oo 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
Oo Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya
and old Lucy Brown
Yes the line forms
on the right babe
Now that Macky's
back in town
Look out old Macky is back
