The song tells of a knife-wielding criminal of the London underworld named #Macheath, the "Mack the Knife" of the title.

My #SundaySong is going up on Saturday this week for reasons. This is a stripped down version of a Kurt Weill/Ogden Nash song told from the point of view of a statue of Venus that has come to life in the modern era. From the #musical "One Touch of Venus," this is "I'm A Stranger Here Myself."
