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