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
