Oh, the shark, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them so pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, out of sight
when that shark b***s with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears MacHeath dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
on the sidewalk, , sunny morning,
Lies a body just oozin' life,
someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Say that someone be Mack the Knife?
On the tugboat, down by the river
cement bag's hanging down
The cement is for the weight, dear
I'll bet you Macky's back in town
Oh Louie Miller?
He disappeared, dear
After drawin' out all his cash
But MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Say that our boy's done somethin' rash?
Oh Sukey Tawdry and Janet Staffer
Parley Peachum and sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Cause Macky's back in town
And it shows them so pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, out of sight
when that shark b***s with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears MacHeath dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
on the sidewalk, , sunny morning,
Lies a body just oozin' life,
someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Say that someone be Mack the Knife?
On the tugboat, down by the river
cement bag's hanging down
The cement is for the weight, dear
I'll bet you Macky's back in town
