Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear?
And he shows them, pearly white?
Just a jack knife has ol' Mac Heath babe?
And he keeps it, out of sight.?
When the shark bites with those teeth dear?
Scarlet billows start to spread?
Fancy gloves tho' wears ol' Mac Heath babe?
So there's never, never a trace of red.?
On the side walk some sunday morning?
Lies a body, just 'oozing life?
Someone's sneakin' round the corner?
Could that someone be Mack the knife??
From a tug boat down by river going slow?
A cement bag's is droppin' on down?
That cement's there for the weight, dear?
Five'll get you ten, ol' Mac Heath back in town.?
Oh, Louie Miller? he dissapeared babe?
After drawin' out, all his hard earned cash?
And now Mac Heath spends just like a sailor?
Could it be, our boys done something rash??
Jenny Diver and Sukey Tawdry?
Look out Lotte Lenya oh Lucy Brown?
Yes, the line forms on the right babe?
Now that Mac Heath back in town?
I said Jenny Diver? oh Sukey Tawdry?
Look out, Lotte Lenya ! oh Lucy Brown?
You'd better lock your doors, and call the law babe?
Because Mac Heath~ back in town~
