D13     G6               Am7
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear

       D13        D9     G6
And he shows 'em, pearly white

G6     Em7         Em6     Am7
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear

       Am7                        D7 G6
And he keeps it, keeps it way out of sight
[Verse 2]
D13       G6                   Am7
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear

        D13           D9       G6
Scarlet billows, they begin to spread

G6           Em7      Em6     Am7
Fancy white gloves though has Macheath, dear

           Am7                        G6     Eb7
So there's rarely, never one trace of red
[Verse 3]
Eb9    Ab6                  Bbm7
On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin'

       Eb13 Eb9    Ab6
Lies a body oozin' life

Ab6       Fm7      Fm6        Bbm7
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner

           Bbm7     Bbm6                   Eb13 Eb7 Ab6
Could that someone, perhaps, perchance, be Mack the Knife?
[Verse 4]
Eb13   Ab6            Bbm7
From a tugboat on the river goin' slow

     Eb13           Eb9      Ab6
A cement bag, it is dropping down

Ab6         Fm7      Fm6     Bbm7
Yeah, the cement is just for the weight, dear

        Bbm7         Bbm6            Eb13 Eb7 Ab6  E7
You can make a large bet Macheath is back in town
[Verse 5]

My man Louie Miller, he split the scene, babe

       E13                       E9     A6
After drawin' out all the bread from his stash

       F#m7         F#m6       Bm7
Now Macheath spends just like a pimp, babe

       Bm7               Bm6        E13  E7    A6      F7
Do you suppose that our boy, he did some thing rash?
[Verse 6]
F9     Bb6                       Cm7
Ah, old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin

       F9                          Bb6
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too

          Gm7     Gm6          Cm7
They all sang it, with so much feeling

         Cm7           Cm6             F13 F7  Bb6 Gb7
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
[Verse 7]
Gb13     B6                 Dbm7
But with Quincy's big band, right behind me

          Gb9                  Gb7  Abm7
Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose

When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe

It's an offer, you can nev  er  refuse
[Verse 8]

We got George Benson, we got Newman & Foster

       Gb13                        Gb7                     Abm7
We got the Brecker Brothers, and Hampton's bringing up the rear

          Abm7          Abm6      Dbm7
All these bad cats, and more, are in the band now

        Dbm7          Dbm6         Gb13 Gb7   Abm7
They make the greatest sounds, you ever gonna hear
[Verse 9]
    Abm7           Dbm7                                      Abm7
Hey Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown

       Abm7                 Dbm7
Oh the line forms, on the right dear

Abm7       Abm6    Dbm7
Now that Macheath, I mean that man Macheath
[Outro]
       Cm7            Gb7#5
Yeah he's bad, mercy mercy

          Abm7            Dbm7
Yeah he's badder than old Leroy Brown

       Gb9               Abm7
You better lock your door, and call the law

        Abm6        Abm7    Dbm7
Because Macheath's, that bum,

     Gb7#5   E6
He's back in town
