We've lost our good old Mama
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
I tell you we must die
Well, show me the way
I tell you we must die
To the next whisky bar
We now must say goodbye
Show me the way
Oh, moon of Alabama
Oh, moon of Alabama
I tell you we must die
We now must say goodbye
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
To the next little girl
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
To the next little girl
Songwriters: Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
We've lost our good old Mama
To the next whisky bar
The next little girl
Show me the way
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
For if we don't find
The next whisky bar
And must have whisky, oh, you know why

For if we don't find
Oh, moon of Alabama
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
Well, show me the way
Oh, don't ask why
We've lost our good old Mama
We now must say goodbye
Oh, don't ask why
