Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old 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 sidewalk

Sunday morning

Lies a body oozing life

Someone sneaking around the corner

Is the someone the Mack and the Knife

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag's droopping down

The cement bag this just for the weigh dear

Bet you Mack he's back he's back

He's back in town

Louie Miller disappeared dear

After drawing out his cash

And MacHeath spends

He spends like a sailor

Did our boy do boy do

Boy do something rash

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Bet you Mack he's back in town

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Bet you Mack he's back he's back

He's back in town
