1
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
2
And it shows them pearly white
3
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
4
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
5
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
6
Scarlet billows start to spread
7
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
8
So there's never, never a trace of red
9
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
10
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
11
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
12
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
13
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
14
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
15
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
16
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
17
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
18
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
19
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
20
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
21
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
22
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown

Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
24
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
26
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
27
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe

Now that Macky's back in town
29
Look out, old Macky's back!!
