Letra:
Oh, the shark, has, pretty teeth, dearand he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife, has macheath, yeahand he keeps it, out of sight
When the shark bites, with his teeth, dearscarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears macheath, yeahso there’s not a trace, hmmmm of red
On the sidewalksunday morning, lies a body oozin’ life
Someone’s sneakin’ ’round the corneris the someone, mack the knife?
From a tugboat by the river a cement bag’s, droopin’ down
Yeah, the cement’s just for the weight, dearbet you mack, he’s back in town
Looky here louie miller, disappeared dearafter drawing, out his cash
And macheath spends, like a sailordid our boy do, somethin’ rash?
Sukey tawdry, jenny diverlotte lenya, sweet lucy brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dearsnow that macky’s back in town
"take it satch"
