Oh, the shark, babe

Has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

You know when the shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now, on the sidewalk

Oh, Sunday morning
Lies a body, just oozing life
Someone's sneaking ‘round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife?

There's a tug boat down by the river, don't you know?
A cement bag's just dropping down
Oh, that cement is just is there for the weight, dear
Five'll get you ten, old Macky's back in town

Did you hear about Louie miller?

He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Now Jenny Diver, oh, oh

Yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that mack is back in town

Ah, I said Jenny Diver

Whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Look out old Macky is back
