Oh, the shark has
   Pretty teeth, dear
   And he shows them
   Pearly white
  
   Just a jackknife
   Has old MacHeath, babe
   And he keeps it
   Outta sight
  
   When the shark bites
   With those teeth, dear
   Scarlet billows start to spread
  
   Fancy gloves, oh
   Wears MacHeath, babe
   So there's never
   Never a trace of red
  
   Oh, the shark has
   Pretty teeth, dear
  
   And now Mackie's
   Back in town!
