Lyrics

[verse 1]
Oh, the shark,
babe,
has such teeth,
dear

And it shows them,
pearly white

Just a jackknife
has old MacHeath,
babe
And he keeps it,
ah, out of sight

You know when that shark bites
with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread!

Fancy gloves,
oh, wears old MacHeath,
babe
So there's never, never a trace of red!

Blood, red. BLOOD RED!


Now on the sidewalk,
huh, huh, whoo sunny morning,
un huh



Lies a body
just oozin' life,

ALL THAT LIFE!

And someone's sneakin'
‘round the corner

Could that someone
be Mack the Knife?

OLD MACKIE'S BACK!

[verse 2]



There's a tugboat, huh, huh,

down by the river don'tcha no-no-no-know



Where a cement bag's
just a-drooppin' on down

DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!


Five'll get ya ten,


FUCKIN TEN!

old Macky's back in town

OLD MACKIE'S BACK!



[chorus]
Yes, the lines get cut tonight!
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out! old Macky's back!

THE KNIFE!!
