Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, yeah,
And he shows them, pearly white.
Just a jack knife has old Mack Heath, Babe,
And he keeps it out of sight.
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe,
Scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves though wears old Mack Heath, babe,
So there's never, never a trace of red.
Now, on the sidewalk, Ooh Sunday mornin', ah ha,
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek.
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner,
Could that someone be Mack the Knife.
There's a tug boat down by the river don't you know
Well, the cement bags just a droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, yeah
Five will get you ten ol' Mackey's back in town.
Now, did you hear about Louie Miller,
He disappeared, babe, after drawin' out,
All his hard earned cash,
And now Mack Heath Spends just like a sailor,
Could it be our boys done something rash.
Now Jenny Diver, Soupy Tawdry,
Ohh, Miss Lonnie Linya, And Ol' Lucy Brown.
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe,
Now that Mackey's back in town.
I said Jenny Diver, Whoa Soupy Tawdry,
Look out for Miss Lonnie Linya and Ol' Lucy Brown.
Yes, That Line forms on the right, babe,
Now that Mackey's back in town.
