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