Live a while, yes, Mr. Mack is movin' in
Though the shark has, pretty teeth, dear
And he shows 'em pearly whites
Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear
And he keeps it, well out of sight
When the shark bites, with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears Mac Heath, dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin'
Lies a body oozin' life
Someones sneakin' 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat, by the river
A cement bag droppin' down
The cement, that's just for the weight, dear
I'll bet you Macky's back in town
Mr. Miller, disappeared, dear
After drawin' out all of his cash
Went tap city, and Mac Heath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do, somethin' rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peacham, Miss Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky's back in town
Lay way back you cats, dig in Live a while, yes, Mr. Mack is movin' in Though the shark has, pretty teeth, dear And he shows 'em pearly whites Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear And he keeps it, well out of sight When the shark bites, with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, though, wears Mac Heath, dear So there's not a trace of red On the sidewalk, Sunday mornin' Lies a body oozin' life Someones sneakin' 'round the corner Is that someone Mack the Knife? From a tugboat, by the river A cement bag droppin' down The cement, that's just for the weight, dear I'll bet you Macky's back in town Mr. Miller, disappeared, dear After drawin' out all of his cash Went tap city, and Mac Heath spends like a sailor Did our boy do, somethin' rash? Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver Polly Peacham, Miss Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, dear Now that Macky's back in town Explain Request ×
