Oh the shark has great teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has my keys dear

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves oh wears my kits dear

So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning oh babe

Lies a body oozin' life

Someone's sneakin' around the corner

Is that someone mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river oh babe

See my bag's drooppin' down

Yeah the seen man

Is just for the weight dear

Oh that Macky is back in town

Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawin' out his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

Did our boy do something rash

Sukey Tawdry Jenny Diver

Polly Pigin sweet Lucy Brown

Yeah the line forms on the right dear

Now that Macky is back in town
