The music is by Kurt Weill. Bertolt Brecht wrote the lyrics.

It was originally written in German for their musical play Die Dreigroschenoper [The Threepenny Opera], first performed in Berlin in 1928.

The Original was fron 1923 threepenny opera but I think you are thinking of a newer version which was "Mack the Knife" sung by Louis Armstrong in 1954, but the song made most popular by Bobby Darin in 1958

Also sang by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Buffett, and Robby Williams.
