Oh the shark babe has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has ol' MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark b***s with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears ol' MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, Oh Sunday morning don't you know
Lies a body just oozing life
And Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that be our boy Mack the knife?
From a tug boat down by the river don't you know
Lays a cement bag just dropping on down
That's cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear
I'll get you ten ol' Macky is back in town
Did you hear bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And know MacHeath spends, he spends just like a, like a sailor
Could it be, our boy did something rash?

Jenny Diver Oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Polly Peachum and Oh Lucy Brown
Yeah the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky is back in town
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has ol' MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark b***s with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears ol' MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, Oh Sunday morning don't you know
Lies a body just oozing life
