Oh the shark has pretty teeth, Dear 
And he shows them pearly white 
Just a jacknife has Macheath, Dear 
And he keeps it out of sight. 

When the shark bites through his victim 
Scarlet spreads amongst the green 
But white gloves wears our Macheath, Dear 
And the blood is never seen. 

Seven children and their grandpa 
In the fire near old Soho 
Who’s that creeping aound the corner?
Doesn’t speak and doesn’t know. 

Solly Silverstein has vanished 
Likewise other rich young men 
And Macheath has all their money 
Try and prove it if you can. 

Sookey Tawdry, Jenny Diver Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown 
Oh the line forms on the right, Dear
Now that Mackie’s back in town. 

Oh the shark has pearly teeth, Babe 
And he keeps them in his face 
Just a jacknife has Macheath, Babe 
Keeps it in a different place.
