Oh, the shark has
Pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them
Pearly white
just a jack-knife
Has ol' Mac-heath,
Dear
And he keeps it
Out of sight
When that shark
Bites
With his teeth,
Dear
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
Fancy gloves,
Though
Wears Mac-heath,
Dear
So there's never,
Never a trace
Of red
On a sidewalk
Sunday mornin'
Lies a body,
Oozin' life
Someone's sneakin'
Around the corner
Could that someone
Be Mack the knife?
From a tugboat
Down by a river
A cement bag,
It's droopin' down
The cement is just
It's there for
The weight, dear
Five will
Get you ten
Old Mackie's
Back in town
Sukey Tawdry
To jenny Diver
Polly Peachum
Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms
On the right, babe
Now that Mackie's
Back in town
When that shark
Bites
With his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
Fancy gloves though,
Wears ol'
Mac-heath, dear
So there's never,
Never a trace
Of red
On a sidewalk
One Sunday mornin'
Lies a body,
Oozin' life
Someone's sneakin'
Around the corner
Could that someone
Be Mack the knife?
From a tugboat
On a river
A cement bag, it's
A-droopin' on down
The cement is just
It's there for
The weight, dear
Five'll get you ten
Old Mackie's
Back in town
Sukey Tawdry
jenny Diver
Polly Peachum
And Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms
On the right, dear
Now that Mackie's...
I mean Mackie,
Yeah, Mackie's
Back in town
Yeah, Mackie's,
Mackie is
Back in town...
