Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them pearly whites

Just a jack knife has macheath dear

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites

With his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears macheath dear

So there's not a trace of red

On the side one sunday morning

Lies a body oozing life

Someone's sneaking around the corner

Is that someone mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag is dropping down

Of the cement just

For the weight dear

That to mackie's back in town

Louis Miller

Disappear dear

After drawing out his cash

And macheath spends like a sailor

Did out boy do something rash

Sookie Taudry Jenny Diver

Harly Pichu Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Now the mackie's back in town
