Mack the Knife Revisited

So apparently, 
this guy Miller, Louis
took his money out and got 
stabbed Saturday night
pretty late, stuffed 
in a bag and carried off 
to hang drop off a tugboat

by that bum MacHeath, 
with a jack knife. 

Out of sight. Next, 
Mack's spending like a sailor 
and all these babes, loose 
as we all are one presumes 

- are suddenly composing 
themselves in an orderly line!

Where's the mystery? Sheesh
