David Johansen, Ralph Schuckett, Bob Dorough, Ellen Shipley - Alabama Song lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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)
