Oh, the shark has
pretty 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 his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows,
start to spread
Fancy gloves
though has
old Macheath, babe
So there's never,
never a trace of red
On the sidewalk
one Sunday mornin'
don't you know
Lies a body
just oozin' life
Someone's sneaking
'round the corner
Could that be
our boy
Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat
down by the river
don't you know
There's a cement bag
just dropping on down
That cement's there
It's there for
the weight, dear
Five will get
you ten oh..
Macky's back
in town
D'ja hear 'bout
Louie Miller,
he disappeared, baby
After drawing out all
his hard-earned cash
And now
MacHeath spends,
he spends just like a,
like a sailor
Could it be,
could it be
could it be,
our boy's done
something rash?
Now Jenny Diver,
oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out
Miss Lotte Lenya,
and ole Lucy Brown
Yeah, the line forms
on the right, babe
Now that Macky's
back in town
I said Jenny Diver,
woah, oh
Sukey Tawdry
Look out
Miss Lotte Lenya,
and ole Lucy Brown
Yes, the line forms
on the right, babe
Now that Macky's....
back in town.........
Look out,
old Macky is back
Yo!!!
