Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, 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 MacHeath, dear
So there's not a trace of red
From a tugboat by the harbor
A cement bag's drooppin' down
The cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Macky's back in town
On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?
(Mack the Knife) Mack the Knife
(Mack the Knife) Mack the Knife
(Mack the Knife)
