Mackie Messer

Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und der Mackie hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht
Ach, es sind des Haifisch's Flossen
Rot, wenn dieser Blut vergießt
Mackie Messer trägt 'nen Handschuh
Drauf man keine Untat sieht
An 'mem Schönen blauen Sonntag
Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke
Den man Meckie Messer nennt
Und die minderjährige Witwe
deren Namen keiner weiß
wachte auf und war geschändet
Mackie, welches war dein Preis
Und der Haifisch...
