Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When that 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

On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin’
Lies a body oozin’ life
Someone’s sneaking ’round the corner
Is that someone, Mack the Knife?

From a tugboat, by the river
A cement bag’s drooppin’ down
Yeah, the cement’s just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack, he’s back in town

Louie Miller, disappeared, dear
After drawing out all his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do somethin’ rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Lotte Lenya, sweet Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dears
Now that Mack, he’s back in town

Prevod na srpski

Mak Nož

Oh, ajkula ima lepe zube, dušo,
I pokazuje ih, biserno bele
Makhed ima samo bricu, draga
I drži ga skrivenog od pogleda

Kad ta ajkula ujede svojim zubima, draga
Skerletni talasi počnu da se šire
Mada Makhed nosi fensi rukavice, draga
Tako da nema traga crvenila

Na trotoaru, jednog nedeljnog jutra
Leži telo, koje život napušta
Neko se šunja iza ćoška
Da li je taj neko Mak zvani Nož?

Iz jednog remorkera uz obalu
Neka vreća cementa pada
Da, taj cement joj samo daje težinu, draga
Kladim se da se Mak vratio u grad

Luj Miler je odmaglio, draga
Nakon što je izvukao svu svoju lovu
A Makhed troši kao mornar
Da li je naš momak uradio nešto brzopleto?

Suki Tadri, Dženi Dajver
Lati Lenja, slatka Lusi Braun
Oh, na desnoj strani red se pravi, dragi moji
Sad kad se Mak vratio u grad
