Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears MacHeath, dear
So there′s not a trace of red
From a tugboat, by the river
A cement bag′s drooppin′ down
Yes, the cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Macky′s back in town
