Oh the shark has pearly teeth dear

And it shows them pearly whites

Just a jack knife has Macheath dear

And it keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites

With its teeth dear

Scarlet billows begin to spread

Fancy gloves though wears

Macheath dear

So there's not a trace of red

On the side walk sunday morning

Lies a body woozing life

Someone's sneaking round that corner

It's that someone Mack the Knife

Some tugboat

By the river a cement bag

Is dropping down

Oh that cement's just for the weight dear

Butcher Mackie's back in town

Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawing out his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor

Did our boy do something rash

Sukey Tawdry Jenny Diver

Polly Peachum Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Now that Mack is back in town
