I’m pretty sure that the original is in German. (Bertolt Brecht).

Correct - the Weill/Brecht 3 Penny Opera. I have a poor singing voice which is fairly authentic for the song and did sing it once at a bar after consuming a fair number of adult beverages. Listen to the recording with the song done by Willy Trenk-Trebitsch for an idea.

The late, great Jerry Ohrbach starred in a revival of The Threepenny Opera; here is a link to him singing it in English...

And who could forget Bobby Darin’s version?
