September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill

0

[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 pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For we must find
The next pretty boy
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
[Chorus]
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama (Dear old mama)
And must have boys, oh, you know why (Oh, you know why)
Oh, moon (Oh, moon) of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have boys, oh, you know why
[Verse 3]
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 dear old mama
And must have dollars, oh, you know why (Oh, you know why)
Oh, moon (Oh, moon) of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
And must have dollars, oh, you know why
(You know why, you know why, you know why)
