Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear
 And he shows them pearly white.
 Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
 And he keeps it, out of sight.
 When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
 Scarlet billows start to spread.
 Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe
 And he never shows a single drop of red.
 On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, comin' down
 Lies a body oozin' life,
 Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
 Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
 There's a tugboat down by the river
 With a cement bag, hangin' down.
 Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear
 Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town.
 Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe
 After he withdrew all his cash.
 Now MacHeath spends like a sailor.
 Oh, Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
 There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry,
 Miss Lotte Lenya and ole Lucy Brown.
 Oh, the line forms on the right, babe,
 Now that Macky's,
 Oh, yes, Macky
 He's back in town
 He's back in town
