1. C Oh the shark bites with his Dm teeth dear,
And he G7 shows them, pearly C white.
Just a Am jack-knife has old Dm Mack Heath babe,
And he G7 keeps it outta C sight.
NC C Dm
2. You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe,
Scarlet G7 billows start to C spread,
Fancy Am gloves, though, wears Mack Dm Heath babe,
So there's G7 never, never a trace of C red.
3. Now on the C sidewalk, oh on Sunday Dm morning (don't ya know)
Lies a G7 body, just oozin' C life,
Yeah, someone's Am sneakin' 'round the Dm corner,
Could that G7 someone be Mack the C Knife?
4.There's a C tugboat down by the Dm river, (don't 'cha know?)
With a G7 cement bag, just-a droopin' on C down.
Oh, that Am cement is just for the Dm weight, dear,
Five'll get ya G ten ol' M G7 ackie's back in t C own.
5.Now you C heard about Louie Miller,
He dis Dm appeared, babe, after G7 drawin' out,
All his C hard earned cash.
And now Mack Am he spends just like a Dm sailor,
Could it G7 be our boy's done somethin' C rash?
6.Now Jenny C Diver, oh, Sookey Dm Tawdry,
Polly G7 Peachum and old Lucy C Brown,
Oh the Am line forms on the Dm right, babe,
Now that old G7 Mackie's back in C town.
REPEAT 6th VERSE and ADD:
C Now that old Mackie's Back!
A golden oldie from Kraziekhat!
Bobby Darin
