Oh, the shark babe Has such teeth,dear And he shows them, pearly white Just a jackknife Has old macheath, dear And he keeps it out of sight When the shark bites With his teeth,dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves,though,wears old Macheath,dear So there's never a trace of red On the sidewalk Sunday morning Lies a body just oozing life Someone's sneaking Round the corner Could that someone be Mack the knife? There's a tugboat down by the river Didn't you know A cement bag's dropping down Well that cement's Just for the weight dear Five will get you ten Mackie's back in town Here about Louie Miller He disappeared,dear After drawing out all his Hard-earned cash And Macheath spends Just like a sailor Could it be our boy Did something rash? Jenny Diver,Sukey Tawdry Lawdie Lenya and old Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right babe Now that Mackie's back in town
