A letra:
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 whiskey, 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, yeah
Well, show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next little 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 goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
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 whiskey, 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, yeah
Well, show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next little 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 goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
