Oh, the shark, Babe,

Has such teeth, Dear,

And he shows those

Pearly whites.

Just a jack-knife

Has old Mack Heath, Babe,

And he keeps it outta sight.

You know, when that shark bites

With its teeth, Babe,

Scarlet billows start to spread.

Fancy gloves, oh,

Wears old Mack Heath, Babe,

So there's never -

Never a trace of red.

Now, on the sidewalk,

Ooh, sunny mornin', uh-huh,

Lies a body

Just oozin' life. Eek!

And someone's sneakin'

'Round the corner!

Could that someone

Be Mack the Knife?

Ah, there's a tugboat

Down by the river, don't you know,

Where a cement bag's

Just a-droopin' on down.

Oh, that cement is just...

It's there for the weight, Dear.

Five'll get you ten

Old Mackie's back in town!

Now'd you hear 'bout 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 boy’s

Done something rash?

Now, Jenny Diver, oh, oh yeah!

Tookie Taudry!

Oh, Miss Lottie Linia,

And Ol' Lucy Brown.

Oh, the line forms on the right, Babe,

Now that Mackie's back in town.

Now, Jenny Diver, oh, oh yeah!

Tookie Taudry!

Oh, Miss Lottie Linia,

And Ol' Lucy Brown.

Oh, the line forms on the right, Babe,

Now that Mackie's back in town.



Look out! Ol' Mackie's back!
