Oh the shark has
pretty teeth dear
And he shows them
pearly white
Just a jackknife
has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it
out of sight
When the shark bites
with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows
start to spread
Fancy gloves though
wears MacHeath dear
So there’s not a trace
mmm of red
On the sidewalk
Sunday mornin baby
Lies a body
oozin life
Someone sneakin
around the corner
Is that someone
Mack the Knife
From a tugboat
by the river
A cement bag's
droopin down
Yeah the cement's
just for the weight dear
Bet you Mack
he's back in town
Looky here Louie Miller
disappeared dear
After drawing
out his cash
And MacHeath
spends like a sailor
Did our boy do
somethin rash
Sukey Tawdry
Jenny Diver
Lotte Lenya
Sweet Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms
on the right dears
Now that Mack he's
back in town
Take it Satch
