0:01Oh the shark has pearly teeth dear
0:06And it shows them pearly whites
0:10Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
0:14And it keeps it out of sight
0:18When the shark bites
0:20With its teeth dear
0:22Scarlet billows begin to spread
0:26Fancy gloves though wears
0:28Macheath dear
0:30So there's not a trace of red
0:43On the side walk sunday morning
0:47Lies a body woozing life
0:51Someone's sneaking round that corner
0:55It's that someone Mack the Knife
0:59Some tugboat
1:02By the river a cement bag
1:06Is dropping down
1:08Oh that cement's just for the weight dear
1:12Butcher Mackie's back in town
1:24Louie Miller disappeared dear
1:28After drawing out his cash
1:32And MacHeath spends like a sailor
1:36Did our boy do something rash
1:41Sukey Tawdry Jenny Diver
1:45Polly Peachum Lucy Brown
1:49Oh the line forms on the right dear
1:53Now that Mack is back in town
Oh the shark has pearly teeth dear And it shows them pearly whites Just a jack knife has Macheath dear And it keeps it out of sight When the shark bites With its teeth dear Scarlet billows begin to spread Fancy gloves though wears Macheath dear So there's not a trace of red On the side walk sunday morning Lies a body woozing life Someone's sneaking round that corner It's that someone Mack the Knife Some tugboat By the river a cement bag Is dropping down Oh that cement's just for the weight dear Butcher Mackie's back in town Louie Miller disappeared dear After drawing out his cash And MacHeath spends like a sailor Did our boy do something rash Sukey Tawdry Jenny Diver Polly Peachum Lucy Brown Oh the line forms on the right dear Now that Mack is back in town
