Oh, the shark babe has such  teeth  dear, 
       F           F7     Bb
And he shows them, pearly white.

Just a jack knife, has old Mack Heath babe, 
       F        F7sus4        F7     Bb     F7

                   Bb           Bb6      Cm          Cm7
You know when the shark bites, with his teeth dear,

Scarlet billows, start to spread.
      Gm             Gm7            Cm          Cm7
Fancy gloves though, wears old Mack Heath babe,

So there's never,               a trace of red.
