Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Just a jack-knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears old MacHeath, dear
So there's nary a trace of red

On the sidewalk, on Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
And someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Is that someone Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat, down by the river
A cement bag’s droppin' on down
The cеment bag’s just for the weight, dеar
Betcha Macky’s back in town

Louis Miller, he disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver
Harley Beecham and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky's back, back in town
