Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

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

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is for,just for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

Now Jenny Diver, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown
Oh, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
