Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
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, dear
So there’s not a trace of red

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone’s sneaking round the corner
Is the someone Mack the knife?

From a tug boat by the river
A cement bag’s dropping down
The cement’s just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack is back in town

Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town

Oh the shark has
Pretty teeth dear
And he shows them
Pearly whites
Just a jackknife
Has old Mack Heath, babe
And he keeps them
Out of sight
When the shark bites
With those teeth dear
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
Fancy gloves oh
Wears Mack Heath, babe
So there’s never, never a trace of red
Oh the shark has
Pretty teeth dear
And now Mack is
Back in town

{spoken} thank you. we’d like to do something for you now.
We haven’t heard a girl sing it. and since it’s so popular,
We’d like to try and do it for you.
We hope we remember all the words.{}

Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

Oh, the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears macheath dear
So there’s not, not a trace of red

On a sunday, sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin’ life
Someone’s sneaking ‘round the corner
Tell me could it be, could it be, could it be
Mack the knife?

Oh, what’s the next chorus?
To this song, now
This is the one, now
I don’t know
But it was a swinging tune
And its a hit tune
So we tried to do mack the knife

Ah, louis miller
Oh, something about cash
Yeah, miller, he was spending that trash
And macheath dear, he spends like a sailor
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Could that boy do, something rash

Oh bobby darin, and louis armstrong
They made a record, oh but they did
And now ella, ella, and her fellas
We’re making a wreck, what a wreck
Of mack the knife

{louis armstrong imitation}
Oh snookie taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do
Bah bah bah nop do bo de do
Just a jack knife has macheath, dear
And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do {}

So, you’ve heard it
Yes, we’ve swung it
And we tried to
Yes, we sung it

You won’t recognize it
It’s a surprise hit
This tune, called mack the knife

And so we leave you, in berlin town
Yes, we’ve swung old mack
We’ve swung old mack in town
For the darin fans,
And for the louis armstrong fans, too
We told you look out, look out, look out
Old macheath’s back in town

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows ‘em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has macheath dear
So there’s never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin’ life
Someone’s sneaking ‘round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife

From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping on down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet mackie’s back in town

My man louis miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy, he’s done something rash

Old satchmo, louis armstrong, bobby darrin
Did this song nice, lady ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes, he ain’t gonna add nothing new

But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, jack, i now i can’t lose
When i tell you, all about mack the knife babe
It’s an offer, you can never refuse

We got patrick williams, bill miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, you’re ever gonna hear

Oh sookie taudry, jenny diver, polly peachum, old miss lulu brown

Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that macheath’s back in town
You’d better lock your doors, and call the law
Because macheath’s back in town

Oh, the poor shark,
Yes, the sweet shark,
It has big teeth
Buried deep.

Then there’s macheath
With his big knife,
But it’s hidden
In his slip.

And this same shark,
This poor sweet shark,
It sheds red blood
When it bleeds.

Mackie big knife
Wears a white glove,
Pure in word and
Pure in deed.

Sunday morning
Lovely blue sky,
There’s a corpse stretched
On the strand.

Who’s the man cruisin’
The corner ?
Well, it’s mackie,
Knife in hand.

Jenny towler
Poor wee jenny,
There they found her
Knife in breast.

Mackie’s wandering
On the west pier
Hoping only
For the best.

Mind, that fire burnt
All through soho.
Seven kids dead
One old flower.

Hey there, mackie,
How is she cuttin’ ?
Have another,
Hold your hour.

And those sweet babes
Under sixteen
Story goes that
Black and blue

For the price of
One good screwing
Mackie, mackie,
How could you ?

For the price of
One good screwing
Mackie, mackie,
How could you ?

Nick covered this in a segment in september songs: a tribute to kurt weill

See the shark with teeth like razors
And he wears them in his face
And macheath has got a knife
But not in such an obvious place

Now see the shark, how red his fins are
As he slashes at his prey
Mack the knife wears fancy gloves
Which gives a minimum away

By the thames’ turbid waters
Men abruptly tumble down
Well is it plague, or is it cholera
Or because macky’s in town?

And the child bride, in her nighty
Whose assailant’s still at large
Violated in her slumbers
Macky how much did you charge?

In the ghastly fire in soho
Seven children had a go
In the crowd stands mack the knife
But he isn’t asked and he don’t know

In the crowd stands mack the knife
But he ain’t asked and he don’t know

Mack The Knife (Letra)
