lyrics
Ohhhh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
G7 C
And it shows them pearly white
Am Dm
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
G7 C
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
C Dm
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
G7 C
Scarlet billows start to spread
Am Dm
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
G7 C
So there's never, never a trace of red
C
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh,
Dm
whoo sunny morning, un huh
G7 C
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Am Dm
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
G7 C
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
C Dm
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
G7 C
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Am Dm
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
G7 C
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
C Dm G7
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
C
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Am Dm
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
G7 C
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
C Dm
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
G7 C
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Am Dm
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
G7 C
Now that Macky's back in town
