Oh, the shark, bites, has such teeth, dear
|
And it shows them pearly white
|
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, dear
|
And he keeps it, out of sight
|
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
|
Scarlet billows start to spread
|
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, dear
|
So there's never, never a trace of red
|
|
Now on the sidewalk, whoo sunny mornin'
|
Lies a body oozin' life,
|
And someone's sneakin' clear 'round the corner
|
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
|
|
There's a tugboat, down by the river don'tcha know
|
Where a cement bag just droopin' on down
|
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
|
Five's get ya ten old Macky's back in town
|
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, dear
|
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
|
And now MacHeath spends like a sailor
|
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
|
|
Now Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry
|
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya not to mention old Lucy Brown
|
Oh, the line forms on the right,
|
Now that Macky's back in town
|
|
I said Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
|
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
|
Yes, that line forms on the right
|
Now that Macky's back in town....................
|
........ look out old mack is back
|
