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
