Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear Louie Miller, he split the scene, babe
And he shows 'em, pearly white After drawin' out all the bread from his stash
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear Now Macheath spends just like a sailor,
And he keeps it, out of sight Do you suppose that our boy, he did something rash?

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear Hey Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver,
Scarlet billows, they start to spread Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown
Fancy gloves though has Macheath, dear Oh the line forms, on the right dear
So there's never a trace of red Now that Macheath, I mean that man Macheath

On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin' Ah, old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
Lies a body oozin' life They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner They all sang it, with so much feeling
Could that someone, be Mack the Knife? That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new

From a tugboat on the river goin' slow But with this band, right behind me
A cement bag, it is dropping down Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose
Yeah, the cement is just for the weight, dear When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe
You can make a large bet Macheath is back in town It's an offer, you can never refuse
