LYRICS:
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 that shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath dear
So there’s never a trace of red

On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
And someone’s sneakin round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife

There’s a tugboat down by the river
Where a cement bag’s drooping down
That cement’s just for the weight dear
I bet you Macky’s back in town

Louis Miller disappeared dear
After drawing all his cash
And now MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Jenny Diver Sukey Tawdry
Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown
Well, the line forms on the right, girls
Now that Macky’s back in town!

I said Jenny Diver Sukey Tawdry
Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown
Well, the line forms on the right, girls
Now that Macky’s - - -
Back in to-o-o-o-o-o-own!
