Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear   And he shows them pearly white   Just a jackknife 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, babe   And the blood is never seen      Seven children and their grandpa   In the fire near old Soho   Who's that creeping around 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 jackknife has Macheath, babe   Keeps it in a different place
