Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Mac Heath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves oh, wears old Mac Heath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
[ Bobby Darin Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town

Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now Mac Heath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

Now Jenny Diver, ho ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

I said, "Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown"
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky's back

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Mac Heath, babe
