This tunes' from One Touch of Venus - Ogden Nash wrote the lyrics - My bad P&S, I'll go change that....YAY! Kurt Weill!!

By the way for all you would-be content creators on YT-I made this segment from a larger upload (complete concert) on YT by grabbing that video with the YTD Video Downloader then used the handy VLC media player record feature (shift+R) to record the segment I wanted from the download-Works dandy and it works for free.

Borrowing generously from Kurt Weill.

I'm guessing the poster of this video is calling this song a Doors classic because the second verse was changed from "Show us the way to the next pretty boy" to "Show me the way to the next little girl".

The original song is an all time classic by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, and the writing credit should be theirs.

thats' the second version i ever heard on vinyl
"Lost in the stars"

"Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama Die Dreigroschenoper, or, as it is known in English, The Threepenny Opera. It premiered in Berlin in 1928. The song has become a popular standard.
