_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] Oh, the shark has [B] _
_ [Am] pretty teeth, [E] dear, _ [A] _
_ And he shows them _ _ _ _ pearly white.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ Just a jackknife [B] _ _ _
[E] has [Am] back teeth, dear, [C] _ _
[Am] _ And he keeps it, [D] keeps it way [Bm] out of sight.
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _
[B] When [G] that shark [Bm] bites _ _ [D] with [C] his [Em] teeth, dear, [Gb] _ _
[Am] _ Scarlet pillows, [C] _ they [Gb] begin to spread.
[E] _ _ _ [Dbm] _
Fancy [Em] white [G] gloves, though, [D] _ _
has [Am] MacHeath, dear, _ _ So there's rarely ever one [D] trace of
red [Bm] _ _ [F] on [G] _ [Ab] the sidewalk. _ _
One [Bbm] Sunday [C] morning _ [Db] _ _
_ lies a body [Bb] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Ab] oozing light.
[Gm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ Someone's sneaking _ _ _
[F] round [Db] the _ corner. _ _
_ [Bbm] Could that someone perhaps for a [Eb] chance be Mack [Cm] the Knife?
[F] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [A] From a trunk boat _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bm] on the river going [E] slow, [D] _
_ [Bm] A cement [Gbm] bag [A] it is dropping down. _ _ _
_ [Gbm] Yeah, the cement _ _ is just for the weight, dear.
[B] _ _
_ You can make a large bet Mack Heath [A] is back in town.
_ _ [G] _ _
My man Louie Miller, _ _ _ he [C] split the [D] cement, [Cm] babe, _
[Eb] _ [C] After [Cm] drawing out all the prep _ [Bb] from his stash. _ _ _
_ [Gm] Now Mack Heath spends _ just [Cm] like a pimp, _ [A] babe. _
[C] Do you suppose that our [Eb] boy Heath did [Bb] something rash?
_ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [B] _ Oh, Satsmo, Louie Armstrong, [Dbm] Bobby Darin, _ _ _ _ They did this song nice, _ Lady [B] Ella, too. _ _ _ _
_ _ They all [Abm] sang it with so [Dbm] much _ [E] feeling. _ _
[Dbm] _ That old blue [Gb]-eye, he ain't [Dbm] gonna add nothing [B] new.
_ _ [Am] _
[C] But with Quincy's big band _ _ right [F] behind _ me, _ _ Swinging hard, Jack, _ I know I [C] can't lose.
[Am] _ _ _ _
When I tell you _ all about Mack [Dm] the Knife, _ babe, _ _ It's an offer you can never [C] refuse.
_ [Eb] We _ got [Bb] George Benson, _ _ we got Newman Foster, _ [Eb] _ _
We got the Brecker brothers _ and Hamptons bringing up the rear.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
All these bad [Db] cats and [Bbm] whore are in the band now. _ _
[Eb] _ They make the [Ab] greatest sounds you ever gonna [Bbm] hear. _ _ _ _
[Db] Hey, Sookie Tossie, _ _ _ _ Jenny Diver, _ _ _ _ Holly Peacham, _ [Bbm] _
Oh, Miss Lulu Brown. _ _ _ _
Oh, the lion forms _ _ on the right here. _ _
_ [Ebm] Now that Mack [Gb] Heath, _ I mean that [Db] man Mack Heath, Yeah, he's bad, [E] mercy, mercy.
[Fm] Yeah, he's bad and an old hero [Gb] of brown. _ _ _
_ [Bbm] You better lock your door and call the law, Because Mack [Db] Heath, [Bb] that [Ab] punk, [Db] he's back in [Gb] town. _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _
