Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny: Alabama Song - Kurt Weill, Jan Kucera, Dagmar Pecková

Well, show me the way

To the next whisky bar

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

Show me the way

To the next whisky bar

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

For if we don’t find

The next whisky 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 good old mama

And must have whisky, oh, you know why

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We’ve lost our good old mama

And must have whisky, oh, you know why

Well, show me the way

To the next pretty boy

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

Show me 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

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We’ve lost our good old mama

And must have whisky, oh, you know why
