1956 Lawrence Welk - Moritat (A Theme from “The Three Penny Opera”)

From The Threepenny Opera, here's "Moritat," with Lawrence Welk and His Sparkling Sextet.

This song is best remembered lyrically as "Mack the Knife."

Maybe Lawrence should have had Larry Hooper, Bob Lido, or Rocky Rockwell sing it.

This 1956 recording was released on Coral #9-61574.
