Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear | |
And he shows them pearly white | |
Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe | |
And he keeps it out of sight | |
You know when the shark bites | |
with his teeth, babe | |
Scarlet billows start to spread | |
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe | |
So there's never, never a trace of red | |
Now on the sidewalk, uh huh, huh | |
Oh, Sunday morning, uh huh | |
Lies a body just oozing life | |
Someone's sneaking round the corner | |
Could that someone be Mack the knife? | |
There’s a tug boat, uh huh, huh huh | |
Down by the river, don’t you know | |
Where a cement bag’s just a-drooping on down | |
Oh that cement is just, it’s there for the weight, dear | |
Five will get you ten ol’ Macky’s back in town | |
Now d’ya hear about Louis Miller | |
He disappeared babe | |
After drawing out all his hard earned cash | |
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor | |
Could it be our boy did something rash? | |
Now Jenny Diver, huh huh, yeah Sookie Taudry | |
Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown | |
Oh the line forms on the right, babe | |
Now that Macky’s back in town | |
I said Jenny Diver, woah, Woah Sookie Taudry | |
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown | |
Yes the line forms on the right, babe | |
Now that Macky’s, back in town | |
Look out old Macky’s back! |
Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear | |
And he shows them pearly white | |
Just a jack knife has old MacHeath, babe | |
And he keeps it out of sight | |
You know when the shark bites | |
with his teeth, babe | |
Scarlet billows start to spread | |
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath, babe | |
So there' s never, never a trace of red | |
Now on the sidewalk, uh huh, huh | |
Oh, Sunday morning, uh huh | |
Lies a body just oozing life | |
Someone' s sneaking round the corner | |
Could that someone be Mack the knife? | |
There' s a tug boat, uh huh, huh huh | |
Down by the river, don' t you know | |
Where a cement bag' s just adrooping on down | |
Oh that cement is just, it' s there for the weight, dear | |
Five will get you ten ol' Macky' s back in town | |
Now d' ya hear about Louis Miller | |
He disappeared babe | |
After drawing out all his hard earned cash | |
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor | |
