Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear 
And it shows them pearly white 
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe 
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight 
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe 
Scarlet billows start to spread 
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe 
So there's never, never a trace of red 

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh
Whoo sunny morning, un huh 
Lies a body just oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner 
Could that someone be Mack the Knife? 

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know 
Where a cement bag's just drooppin' on down 
Oh, that cement is just, 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 
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor 
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash? 

Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, 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 
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown 
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe 
Now that Macky's back in town

Look out, old Macky's back!!
