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 You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread But fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe So there's never, never a trace of red, darling Let the thing swing On the sidewalk, huh, huh, who Sunday morning, uh huh Lies a body just oozin' life, eek And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner Tell me, could that someone be 'Mack The Knife'? There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don't you know? Where a cement bag's just a hangin' on down Oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear Five'll get you ten old Macky's back in town Did you hear 'bout Louie Miller? He done disappeared, dear After drawin' out, feels good, all his hard earned cash And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor Could it be our boy's done something rash? Come on, come on Jenny Diver, ho, ho, ho, Sukey Tawdry Hello Miss Lotte Lenya, good evening, Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms way on the right, babe And now that Macky's back in olderly town I said, "Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry Stay back, Lotte Lenya, move it over Lucy Brown Oh the line forms way beyond the right, babe And now that Macky's back in town" Look out, old Macky is back!
