Mack the knife

Oh the shark babe has such teeth dear

And it shows them pearly white

Just a jackknife has old macheath babe

And he keeps it ah out of sight

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves oh wears old macheath babe

So there's never never a trace of red

Lies a body just oozin' life eek

And someone's sneakin''round the corner

Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down

Oh that cement is for just for the weight dear
