Oh, the shark, has, pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife, has MacHeath, yeah.....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, yeah..so there s not a trace, hmmmm of red

On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, ...lies a body oozin life
Someone s sneakin round the corner...is the someone, Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat.... by the river..... a cement bag s, droopin down
Yeah, the cement s just for the weight, dear...bet you Mack, he s back in town
Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared dear...after drawing, out his cash
And MacHeath spends, like a sailor...did our boy do, somethin rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver..Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears.....now that Macky s back in town

"Take it Satch"
