Well, the shark has, pretty teeth dear,
And he keeps them, pearly white.
Just a jackknife, has old Mack Heath 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 old Mack Heath dear,
So there's never, a trace of red.
Sunday morning, on the sidewalk,
Lies A body, oozing life.
And some one's creeping, around the corner,
Could that someone be Mack the knife?
From a tug boat, on the river,
A ce- ment bag's, dropping down.
The ce- ment's just, for the weight dear,
Five 'll get you ten, old Mackys’ back in town.
Louis Miller, disap- peared dear,
After drawing, all his cash.
And old Mack Heath spends, like a sailor.
Did our boy do something rash?
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver,
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown.
Well, the line forms, on the right girls,
Now that Mackys’ back in town!
