Description
When I was maybe 4, I discovered a 45 rpm recording of this song by Louis Armstrong in my parents' record collection. I loved the thing so much, I would run around the house imitating his singing of this song and my parents had to buy me another 6 copies of the record because I wearing them out (of course, only a 4-year-old knows how to treat those old records properly!) Alas, I still have problems intoning the word "knife" (damn these sinuses! #%#(@&!! BANG! Zoooooom!) but you know how it goes!
This was originally written by Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht for "The Three Penny Opera" and in the public domain realm. It is certainly STILL one of the weirdest songs in existence--the lyrics are not exactly hilarious when you really study 'em!
I'd like to introduce you to the fabulous musician who created and played the backing I'm singing with here, Mr. Alan McPike, of London, England. He is sensational!

Maybe some kind, rich benefactor out dere will send me $20,000 so I can buy one of these suckers! Thanks again for your encouragement--and take good care, Michael
