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