[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
Well, the shark has, pretty teeth dear,
EE7A
And he keeps them, pearly white.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
Just a jackknife, has old Mack Heath dear,
EE7sus4E7AE7
And he keeps it out of sight.
[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
When the shark bites, with his teeth dear,
EE7A
Scarlet billows, start to spread.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
Fancy gloves though, wears old Mack Heath dear,
EE7sus4E7AE7
So there's never, a trace of red.
[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
Sunday morning, on the sidewalk,
EE7A
Lies A body, oozing life.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
And some one's creeping, around the corner,
EE7sus4E7AE7
Could that someone be Mack the knife?
[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
From a tug [A] boat, [A6] on the [Bm] river, [Bm7]
EE7A
A cement bag's, dropping down.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
The cement's just, for the weight dear,
EE7sus4E7AE7
Five 'll get you ten, old Mackys’ back in town.
[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
Louis Miller, disappeared dear,
EE7A
After drawing, all his cash.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
And old Mack Heath spends, like a sailor.
EE7sus4E7AE7
Did our boy do something rash?
[Verse]
AA6BmBm7
Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver,
EE7A
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown.
F#mF#m7BmBm7
Well, the line forms, on the right girls,
EADAEA
Now that Mackys’ back in town!
