Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them pearly white
|
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe.....and he keeps it, out of sight
|
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear....scarlet billows start to spread
|
Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe..and he never shows a single drop of red
|
|
On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, commin' down...lies a body oozin' life
|
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner...could that someone be Mack the Knife?
|
|
(instrumental break)
|
|
There's a tugboat....down by the river.....with a cement bag, hangin' down
|
Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear...five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
|
Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe...after he withdrew all his cash
|
Now MacHeath spends like a sailor...could it be our boy's...done somethin' rash?
|
|
There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry..Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown
|
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in town
|
|
I said that line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky's back in
|
