Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites a-with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows a-begin to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears our MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never, ever a trace of red
On a sidewalk one sunny morning
Lies a body oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round that corner
Could that someone a-be Mack the Knife?
Oh, there's a tugboat down, it's down by the river don'tcha know
Where the cement bag, droopin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, old Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends, h-spends like a sailor
Could that boy have done somethin' rash?
Ah, Jenny Diver, look out Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss a-Lotte Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown
Oh, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's, a-Macky's a-back in town
Ah, Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
A-Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
I said "Look out, old Macky is back!"
