Lyrics[]
Oh the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear
And he shows them
Pearly white
Just a jack knife
Has old Mack Heath, babe
And he keeps it
Out of sight
There's a tug boat
Down by the river
Don't you know
Where a cement bag's
Just dropping on down
That cement there
It's for the weight, dear
Five'll get you ten
Old Macky's back in town
Look out old Macky's back!
