Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear   And it shows them pearly white   Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, babe   And it keeps it way out of sight      When that shark bites with his teeth, dear   Scarlet billows begin to spread   Fancy gloves, wears old Mac Heath, babe   So there's never, never a trace of red      On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin'   Lies a body oozin' life   Someone's sneakin' round that corner   Could that someone be Mack the Knife?      Oh, there's a tugboat down, down by the river don'tcha know   Where a cement bag's just a drooppin' on down   That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear   Five'll get ya ten, old Macky's back in town      Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe   After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash   Now Mac Heath spends, he spends like a sailor   Could that boy have done somethin' rash?      Ahh Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry   Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown   Oh, the line forms on the right, babe   Now that Macky's back in town      I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry   Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown   Oh, the line forms on the right, babe   Now that Macky's back in town   Look out, old Macky is back
