Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear and he shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has macheath yeah and he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth dear scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears macheath yeah so there's not a trace hmmmm of red

On the sidewalk sunday morning lies a body oozin' life

Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner is the someone mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river a cement bag's droopin' down

Yeah the cement's just for the weight dear bet you mack he's back in town

Looky here louie miller disappeared dear after drawing out his cash

And macheath spends like a sailor did our boy do somethin' rash

Sukey tawdry jenny diver lotte lenya sweet lucy brown

Oh the line forms on the right dears now that macky's back in town

"take it satch"
