I don't mean to carp after the ton of work you did, but isn't there another verse in German, as long as it is going into the DT? The only part I ever remember of the German version is the moment when Lotte Lenya sings "Hoppla!" for (I guess) "right now!" I forgot that "lumpige" becomes "ratty". Both great. I wonder who Blitzstein wrote the translation for? -- the standard earlier version I have, from the Bentley translation (I think) is not nearly as good or singeable. I wonder if someone sang this version before Judy Collins. Yours, Peter
