the shot has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has McKeith, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
When that shot bites, with its deep dip
Scarlet bellows start to spread
Just a gloved hand has me keeping
And he never shows a single drop of red
something more than coming down
Oh, could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river
With a cement bag hangin' down
All the seamen's just for waitin'
If I forget your ten old baggies
Old Louie Miller, he disappeared, babe
After he withdrew all his cash
Now MacHeath spends like a sailor
Oh, could it be our boy's done something rash?
That's Danny Diver and Sukey Tawdry
All the lion forms on the right bank
Now that Macky's, oh yes Macky
