Mack the Knife |
| «Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear |
| And he shows them pearly white |
| Just a jack-knife has Mac-heath, dear |
| And he keeps it out of sight |
| When the shark bites with his teeth, dear |
| Scarlet billows start to spread |
| Fancy gloves though wears Mac-heath, dear |
| So there’s not a trace, not a trace of red |
| On the sidewalk on a Sunday morning |
| Lies a body oozing life |
| Someone’s sneaking 'round that corner |
| Tell me could it be, could it be Mack the Knife |
| On a tugboat down by the river, don’t you know |
| A cement bag’s dropping down |
| The cement’s just for the weight, dear |
| Bet you that cat called Mack-heath, oh Mack-heath, he’s back in town |
| (Improvisation) |
| Oh Mack-heath's back in town |
| He’s back, he’s back, he’s back, he’s back |
| He’s back, he’s back, he’s back, he’s back, he’s back, he’s back in town |
| Mack-heath's back in town" |
