Oh the shark has such teeth, dear
|
And he shows them pearly white
|
Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, dear
|
And he keeps it out of sight
|
|
You know when the shark bites
|
with his teeth, dear
|
Scarlet billows start to spread
|
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
|
So there's never, never a trace of red
|
|
On the sidewalk, Sunday morning,
|
Don't you know
|
Lies a body oozing life
|
Someone's sneaking round the corner
|
Could that be our boy, Mack the knife?
|
|
From a tug boat by the river
|
There's a cement bag just dropping on down
|
The cement's just for the weight, dear
|
Bet you Mack is back in town
|
|
Did you hear about Louie Miller he disappeared
|
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
|
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
|
Could it be our boy did something rash?
|
|
Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
|
Polly Peachum, and old Lucy Brown
|
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
|
Now that Mack is back in town
|
|
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
|
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
|
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
|
Now that Mack is back in town
|
