"Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has Mac-heath, 1
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet 2 start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Mac-heath, dear
So there's not a 3 , not a trace of red
On the sidewalk on a Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's 4 'round that corner
Tell me could it be, could it be Mack the Knife

On a tugboat 5 by the river, don't you know
A cement bag's dropping down
The 6 's just for the weight, dear
Bet you that cat called Mack-heath, oh Mack-heath, he's back in 7
(Improvisation)

Oh Mack-heath's back in town
He's 8 , he's back, he's back, he's back
He's back, he's back, he's back, he's back, he's back, he's back in town
Mack-heath's back in town"
