Yeah the shark has such white teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
Johnny Whitey disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
But Macheath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
On a sidewalk sunday morning
There's a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking' round a corner
Is that someone really Mack the Knife?
There's Polly Peachum and Suky Tawdry
Miss Jenny Diver and Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
Johnny Whitey disappeared dear
After drawing out his cash
But Macheath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
On a sidewalk sunday morning
There's a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking' round a corner
Is that someone really Mack the Knife?
There's Polly Peachum and Suky Tawdry
Miss Jenny Diver and Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town
