Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it out of sight.
When the shark b***s, with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears MacHeath, dear
So there's not a a trace of red.
From a tugboat by the harbour
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just for the weight, dear
Betcha Macky's back in town.
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife
Mack the Knife
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it out of sight.
When the shark b***s, with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears MacHeath, dear
So there's not a a trace of red.
