[Lyrics]
Oh, the shark, Babe, Has such teeth, Dear,
And he shows them Pearly white.
Just a jack-knife Has old Mack Heath, Babe,
And he keeps it outta sight.
You know, when that shark bites With its teeth, Babe,
Scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves, oh, Wears old Mack Heath, Babe,
So there's never - Never a trace of red.
Now, on the sidewalk, Ooh, sunny mornin', uh-huh,
Lies a body Just oozin' life. Eek!
And someone's sneakin' 'Round the corner!
Could that someone Be Mack the Knife?
Ah, there's a tugboat Down by the river, don't you know,
Where a cement bag's Just a-droopin' on down.
Oh, that cement is just... It's there for the weight, Dear.
Five'll get you ten Old Mackie's back in town!
Now'd you hear 'bout Louie Miller?
He disappeared, Babe, After drawin' out All his hard-earned cash.
And now Mack Heath spends Just like a sailor.
Could it be our boy's done something rash?
Now, Jenny Diver, Suky Tawdry
Oh, Miss Lotte Lenya, and ol' Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
I said, Jenny Diver, oh Suky Tawdry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya, and ol' Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
Look out ol' Mackie is back!
