Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dearAnd it shows them pearly whiteJust a jackknife has MacHeath, dearAnd he keeps it, out of sightwhen that shark bites with his teeth, dearScarlet billows start to spreadFancy gloves, though, has MacHeath, dearSo there’s never, not a trace of redon the sidewalk, whoo sunny morning,Lies a body oozin' life,someones sneakin' ‘round the corneris that someone Mack the Knife?There's a tugboat, down by the river babyWhere a cement bag’s 'drooppin' on downOh, that cement is for the weight, dearBet you that he's back in townYeah Louie Miller disappeared here,After drawin' out all his cashAnd MacHeath spends like a sailordid our boy's done somethin' rash?Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver, ,Lotte Lenya and old Lucy BrownOh, the line forms on the right, dearNow that Macky’s back in town
