Alabama Song

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 say good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have whisky 
Oh, you know why.

Show me the way to the next pretty girl
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next pretty girl
Oh don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next pretty girl
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 good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have a girl
Oh, you know why.

Show me the way to the next little dollar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little dollar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why 
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

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye 
We've lost our good old mamma 
And must have dollars
Oh, you know why.
