From the 'Three Penny Opera'. (I like to swing it) C6 Dm G7 C6 Well, the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he keeps them pearly white Am Dm G7 C6 Just a jackknife has old MacHeath dear, and he keeps it out of sight (Chord progression repeats through out song) When the shark bites with his teeth dear, scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves though wears old MacHeath dear, so there's never a Trace of red Sunday morning on the sidewalk, lies a body oozing life And some one's creeping around the corner, could that some one Be Mack the knife? >From a tug boat on the river a cement bag's dropping down The cement's just for the weight dear, I bet you Macky's back in town Louis Miller disappeared dear, after drawing all his cash And old MacHeath spends like a sailor, did our boy do someting rash? Suky Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum and old Lucy Brown Well, the line forms on the right girls, now that Macky's back in town! Joey Revel-Merholz 'This Gun For Hire'
