        C5                     D5
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
       G5                C5
And it shows them pearly white
       A5                   D5
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
       G5                   C5
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight

                  C5                    D5
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
        G5               C5
Scarlet billows start to spread
      A5                       D5
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
           G5                      C5
So there's never, never a trace of red

           C5                       
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, 
           D5

       G5               C5
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
              A5                  D5
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
           G5                  C5
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

          C5                              D5
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
        G5                               C5
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
         A5                                 D5
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
                       G5              C5

                                      C5
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
        A5                          D5
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
         G5                          C5
