Song by Bobby Darin<br /><br>

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear<br>

And it shows them pearly white<br>

Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe<br>

And he keeps it, ah, out of sight<br>

Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe<br>

Scarlet billows start to spread<br>

Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe<br>

So there's never, never a trace of red<br>

<br>

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, <br>

whoo sunny morning, un huh<br>

Lies a body just oozin' life, eek<br>

And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner<br>

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?<br>

<br>

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know<br>

Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down<br>

Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear<br>

Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town<br>

Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe<br>

After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash<br>

And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor<br>

Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?<br>

<br>

Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry <br>

Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown<br>

Oh, the line forms on the right, babe<br>

Now that Macky's back in town<br>

<br>

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry<br>

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown<br>

Yes, that line forms on the right, babe<br>

Now that Macky's back in town.....<br>

<br>

Look out, old Macky's back!!<br>

<br>
