12 mice ran up the clock
The clock struck 9
And the other two excaped with minor injurys

Yes, apparently she was a prostitute or at least is depicted as such in Kurt Weill's "The Baggar's Opera" (was a girlfriend of Macheath - he to whom the song Mac The Knife refers).

Oh the shark has
pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk,
Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life

Someone's sneaking round the corner
Is the someone Mack the knife?

From a tug boat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down

The cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack is back in town

Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash

And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Real meaning?
