Mack The Knife by Kurt Weill, with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht.
Taken from the opening of 1928’s “The Threepenny Opera.”
Originally titled “Die Moritat von Mackie Messer” (“Ballad of Mack the Knife”). Many versions have become popular including versions by Louie Armstrong and Bobby Darin…my favorite version is by the great jazz ukulele player, Bill Tapia.

You sound pretty sultry on this one.
I was hoping for at least one verse in German. Nice job, though.
