Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he keeps 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has old Macheath dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though has old Macheath dear
So there's never a trace of red
On that sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife
From a tugboat, down by the river
A cement bag is dropping down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
Five will get you ten dear
Mackie's back in town
My man Louis Miller, he disappeared babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
Now Macheath spends, spends like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy's done something rash
O-ld Satchmo, Louis Armstrong
Did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with much feeling
That Old Blue Eyes ain't gonna add much new
But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose
When I tell you, about Mack the Knife babe
It's an offer, you never can refuse
We got Patrick Williams,
Billy Miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, i-in this band now
They make the greatest sounds,
you're ever gonna hear
Oh, Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver,
Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lucy Brown
Hey the line forms, forms on the right dear
Now that Mackie's, now that Mackie's
You better lock your doors and call the law
Because old Mackie's back in town, in town
You better watch out
