Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny: Alabama Song

[Verse 1]

Oh, show us the way

To the next whisky bar

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

For we must find

The next whisky bar

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Oh, show us the way

To the next little dollar

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

For we must find

The next little dollar

For if we don't find

The next little dollar

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you, I tell you

I tell you we must die

[Chorus]

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We've lost our good old mama

And must have dollars, oh, you know why

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We've lost our good old mama

And must have dollars, oh, you know why
