Well, the shark has   pretty teeth dear,

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath dear,  
 
G/B   A7sus4    A7       D      Cdim   A7 
And he keeps it   out of sight. 
 
 
When the shark bites with his teeth dear,  
Scarlet billows start to spread 
Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath dear,  
So there's never a trace of red 
 
Sunday morning on the sidewalk,  
Lies a body oozing life 
And some one's creeping around the corner,  
Could that some one be Mack the knife? 
 
From a tug boat on the river  
A cement bag's dropping down 
The cement's just for the weight dear,  
Five'll get you ten ol' Macky's back in town 
 
Louis Miller disappeared dear,  
After drawing all his cash 
And old MacHeath spends like a sailor -- 
Did our boy do someting rash? 
 
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver,  
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown 
Well, the line forms on the right girls,  
Now that Macky's back in town!
