Hey the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows they began to spread
Fancy white gloves has MacHeath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Could that someone perhaps be Mack the knife?

From a tug boat on the river going slow
A cement bag's is dropping down
You know that cement is for the weight, dear
You can make a large Bet that bombs in town

My man Louie Miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out his cash
Now MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Old Sachmo, Louis Amstrong, Boby Daron
They did this song nice
Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
....

But when this big, fat band, jumping behind me
swinging hard

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town
