Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, yeah
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has old Mack Heath, Babe
And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears old Mack Heath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now, on the sidewalk, Ooh Sunday mornin', ah ha
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife

There's a tug boat down by the river don't you know
Well, the cement bags just a droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, yeah
Five will get you ten ol' Mackey's back in town

Now, did you hear about Louie Miller
He disappeared, babe, after drawin' out
All his hard earned cash
And now Mack Heath Spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boys done something rash

Now Jenny Diver, Soupy Tawdry,
Ohh, Miss Lonnie Linya, And Ol' Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackey's back in town
