    They'd be right. It is old.

    But it is deadly, as well.

    I don't really like that version. The song is meant to be nasty, Mack the Knife is a thug. The original by Brecht and Weill is all about murder and rape. It's from The Three Penny Opera. Those English versions take everything that was powerful in the lyrics and ruin it. The best English version I've heard is The Birthday Party's version.
