Alabama Song - Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill

1927 - Mahagonny (Songspiel)

Oh, show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

Oh, show us the way to the next pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show us the way to the next pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find the next pretty boy
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die
