Oh, the shark has
pretty teeth dear
And he shows 'em,
pearly white
Just a jack knife
has Macheath dear
And he keeps it
way out of sight

When that shark
bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows
begin to spread
Fancy white gloves
has Macheath dear
So there's never,
never a trace of red

On the sidewalk,
one Sunday morning
Lies a body,
oozin' life
Someone's sneaking '
round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife

From a tugboat,
on the river going slow
A cement bag
is dropping on down
You know that cement
is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet
Mackie's back in town

My man Louis Miller,
he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread
from his stash
Now Macheath spends
like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy,
he's done something rash

Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
Did this song nice,
Lady Ella too
They all sang it,
with so much feeling
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna
add nothing new

But with this big band,
jumping behind me
Swinging hard, Jack,
I now I can't lose
When I tell you,
all about Mack the Knife babe
It's an offer,
you can never refuse

We got Patrick Williams,
Bill Miller playing that piano
And this great big band,
bringing up the rear
All the band cats,
in this band now
They make the greatest sounds,
you're ever gonna hear

Oh Sookie Taudry,
Jenny Diver,
Polly Peachum,
Old Miss Lulu Brown

Hey the line forms,
on the right dear
Now that Macheath's
back in town
You'd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because Macheath's back in town
