You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves, wears old MacHeath, babe

So there's never, never a trace of red
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, whoo sunny morning, un
Now on the sidewalk, whoo sunny morning, un
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Read a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, down by the river don'tcha know
There's a tugboat, down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a-drooppin' on down
