Lyrics
Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has Macheath dear 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 dear So there's not a trace of red On the side walk Sunday mornin' Lies a body oozing life Someone sneakin' round the corner Is that someone Mack the Knife From a tugboat by the river A cement bag's droppin' down The cement's just for the weight dear Bet'ya Mackies back in town Louie Miller disappeared dear After drawing out his cash And Macheath spends like a sailor Did our boy do something rash Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right dears Now that Mackies back in town Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has Macheath dear And he keeps it out of sight Just a jackknife has Macheath dear And he keeps it out of sight
