[Bb] .
Oh the shark, baby, [C] has such teeth, yeah, and it shows them [Dm] pearly white.
.
Just a jack [Dbm] knife has [Eb] old Maggie Heap, baby, and it keeps it [Bb] out of sight.
You know when that shark, [Cm] with its teeth, baby, scarlet billows [Bb] start to spring.
.
[F] Fancy gloves, [Dbm] though, wears [Eb] old Maggie Heap, baby, [Cm] so there's never, never a trace of [Gm] red.
[Gb] Now [B] on the sidewalk, oh, [Eb] Sunday [Dbm] morning, lies [Abm] a [Gb] body [B] just oozing life.
Can someone sneak in [Fm] round [Dbm] the corner?.
Could that someone [Gb] be Mack the [Abm] Knife?.
[Eb] .
[C] There's a boat [D] down by the [F] river, don't you know, where [G] a cement bag just drooping [C] on down.
Oh, that cement is just, [Eb] it's [Dm] there for the weight of death.
Bible, get your ten, old [Am] Maggie's back [C] in town.
[Ab] Now, [Db] you hear about Louie Miller, he [Ebm] disappeared, baby, [Ab] half the drawing out.
Oh, [Db] he's a hard-earned catch, and now Maggie Heap [Gm] spins [Bbm] just [Ebm] like a [Ab] snail.
[Gb] [Ab] [Ebm] Could it be [Db] our boy's done something [Eb] rash?.
[G] Now, Jenny [D] Diver, yeah, [G] Sukie Tawdry, [A] ooh, Miss Madeline, yeah, [D] and old Lucy Brown.
Oh, the line [F] forms [Em] on the right, [A] baby, [Em] now that [A] Mack is [D] back in [Bb] town.
Now, I [Eb] said, Jenny Diver, whoa, [Ab] Sukie Tawdry, look out [Bb] to Miss Madeline, yeah, and [Eb] old Lucy Brown.
