Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear ■

And he shows 'em ■  pearly white

And he keeps it way out of sight

Fancy white gloves though ■   has Macheath dear

Bbm                                Bbm7               Cm7   F7
■   Could that someone perhaps per chance be Mack the Knife ■ 
E7     Am             Bm              
From a tugboat on the river going slow
Gbm   Bm                           Amaj7
■   A cement bag it is dropping on down 
Gbm                             Bm     Bm7  Esus4
Yeah the cement is just for the weight dear ■

■  You can make a large bet Mackie's back in town

My man Louis Miller he split the scene babe
              F7                         Bbm  
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
G                          Cm7      
Now Macheath spends like a pimp babe
       Cm7                                         
Do you suppose that our boy he's did something rash
B                                           Dbm7
Ah old Satchmo Louis Armstrong Bobby Darrin ■

They did this song nice ■      lady Ella too
                              Dbm7   
They all sang it with so much feeling
         Dbm7                                    
That old blue eyes he ain't gonna add nothing new

Swinging hard Jack I now I can't lose
       Am7                         Dm7   F   
When I tell you all about Mack the knife babe
              Dm            C     
It's an offer you can never refuse
       Db                                   Bbm
We got George Benson we got Newman & Foster ■  
Ebm7                    Ab7                                Db      
■    We got the Brecker Brothers and Hampton's bringing up the rear
Bbm                                    Ebm7 Gbmaj7
All these bad cats and more are in the band now   
              Bbm                      Ab        
They make the greatest sounds you ever gonna hear
Db                Ab Db                                              
Hey Sookie Taudry ■  ■  Jenny Diver Polly Peachum Old Miss Lulu Brown

Oh the line forms on the right dear
         Bbm                              
Now that Macheath I mean that man Macheath

Yeah he's bad mercy mercy
Fm7                             Bbm  
Yeah he's badder than old Leroy Brown
           Gb                          Ebm7
You better lock your door and call the law 
Ab7                        
Because Macheath's that bum
     Db      Ab7 
He's back in town
Gb7 Ab7 D7 Dbm7 Db7 E
