Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear And he keeps it out of sight When the shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear So there's not a trace of red On the sidewalk, Sunday morning Lies a body oozing life Someone's sneaking round the corner I'll bet that someone, someone's Mack the knife From a tug boat by the river A cement bag's dropping down The cement's just, just for the weight, dear Bet you, I'll bet you Mack is back in town Louie Miller, he disappeared, dear After drawing out his cash And MacHeath spends like a sailor Did the boy, did the boy do something rash? Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver Polly Peachum, and Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right, dear Now that Macky's back in town (x2)
