Though the shark's teeth may be lethal, Still you see them white and red; But you won't see Mackie's flick-knife ‘Cause he slashed you and you're dead!
Jenny Dipper was a stripper; Someone ripped her from ear to ear; Though the knife-work was artistic, Seems that Mackie was nowhere near!
Someone's lying near the telly, With his children and his wife; It's a painting done in crimson; You could sign it “Mack the Knife”!
Ernie Goldstein was garroted For his cuff-links and a ring; The survivors grew to bursting; Strange that no one saw a thing!
Little Johnnie was abducted And they sought him high and low; Though his parents paid the ransom, Mackie slashed him weeks ago!
You remember that fire in Houndslow, Twenty agents and a cat; While they're raking through the embers, Here's a flick-knife – fancy that!
There's a schoolgirl who's a call-girl, With a baby at her breast; Someone's robbed her, someone's raped her; Someone's flick-knife did the rest!
These may seem like scary stories, But don't have nightmares or be upset; Still he's evil, he's a murderer, And they haven't caught him yet!
He's a rapist, he's a sadist, And they haven't caught him yet!
