Oh, the shark, babe,
has such teeth, dear
And it shows them
pearly white
Just a jackknife
has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it … ah …
out of sight.
Ya know when that shark bites,
with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
start to spread
Fancy gloves, though,
wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s nevah,
nevah a trace of red.
Now on the sidewalk …
sunny mornin’ …
Lies a body just oozin' life …
And someone’s sneakin'
‘round the corner
Could that someone
be Mack the Knife?
A-there's a tugboat
down by the river don’tcha know
Where a cement bag’s
just a'droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just,
it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten
old Macky’s back in town.
Now, d'ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller?
He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out
all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath
spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's
done somethin' rash?
Now … Jenny Diver …
Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms
on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s
back in town.
I said Jenny Diver … whoa … Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya
and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms
on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s
back in town …
Look out … old Macky is back!!
