Just a jackknife has old MacHeath dear,
G/B A7sus4 A7 D C#dim A7
And he keeps it out of sight.
When the shark bites with his teeth dear,
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though has old MacHeath dear,
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, mmm Sunday morning uh huh
Lies a body, just oozing life
And some one's creeping around the corner,
Could that some one be Mack the knife?
Theres a tug boat, down by the river don't you know
where a cement bag's just dropping on down
Oh that cement is just there for the weight dear,
Five'll get you ten ol' Macky's back in town
Have you heard bout Louie Miller, hw disappeared babe,
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor --
Could it be our boy done someting rash?
Now Jenny Diver, oh Sookie Tawdry
Ooh,Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Well, the line forms on the right babe,
Now that Macky's back in town!
I said Jenny Diver, Oh Sookie Tawdry
Lookout for Miss Lotte Lenya and Old Lucy Brown
Yes that line forms on the right babe
Now that Mackeeeeeeeees Back in town
Lookout old Mackys Back
