1. Strophe

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.

2. Strophe

You know when that shark bites, with his teeth, dear.     

Scarlet billows start to spread

And fancy gloves though has old MacHeath babe, 

So there's never, never a trace of red.

3. Strophe

On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning, don't you know

lies a body, just oozin' life.

And someone's sneaking 'round the corner,

Could that be our boy  Mack the Knife?

4. Strophe

From a tugboat, down by the river don´t ya know,

There´s a cement bag  just dropping on down.

That cement there is there for the weight dear

Five will get you ten old Mackie's back in town.

5. Strophe

Dear Louis Miller, he disappeared babe,

After drawing out all his hard earned cash.

And now MacHeath spends, he spends just like a, like a sailor

Could it be, could it be, could it be, our boy´s done something rash?

6. Strophe

Hey, Jenny Diver, oh Sookie Taudry, 

Look out Miss Mary Lennor, oh Lucy Brown

Here the line forms, on the right babe.

Now that MacHeath's, back in town.

7. Strophe

I say Jenny Diver, oh Sookie Taudry, 

Look out Miss Mary Lennor, and oh Lucy Brown

Here the line forms, on the right babe.

Now that MacHeath's, back in town.

Look out old MacHeath is back!
