Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Now that Macky's back in town
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
And someone? sneakin' 'round the corner
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Ah, there's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
Scarlet billows start to spread
So there's never, never a trace of red
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
