Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
[Verse 2]
When that shark bites with its teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though wears our MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never, ever a trace of red
[Verse 3]
On the sidewalk, one sunny morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
[Verse 4]
Oh, there's a tugboat down, it's down by the river, don't you know?
With the cement bag drooping on down
Ooh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five will get you ten, old Mack, he's back in town
[Verse 5]
Did you hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard-earned cash
Now MacHeath spends, he spends like a sailor
Could that boy have done something rash?
[Verse 6]
Ah, Jenny Diver, look out, Suky Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mack, he's, Mack, he's back in the town
[Verse 7]
Ah, Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mack, he's back in town
[Outro]
I said, look out, old Mack, he is back
