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