I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1971, when my uncle played side one of this epic album when I was visiting my grandparents for Thanksgiving at the age of 9, and it blew me away!!!Now, at age 54, this song still blows me away!!!

This was my favorite song when I was a toddler.I grew up listening to The Doors.Shout out to my mommy!

[lorileifer]

The song is a cover of the Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill Opera "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" (1920s Opera about classism). Hate when the descriptions don't give credit to covers....

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 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 

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

This used to be my cousin's ringtone around like 10 years ago and I always loved it. :) Whenever I hear this song, I instantly think of her.

I can't believe I forgot about The Doors! I watched The World's End (with Simon Pegg) yesterday and heard this song, when I remembered it I started singing along XD

R.I.P. Ray Manzarek ... You were one of my earliest idols when it came to playing rock music on the piano/keyboard... I hope that you and Jim Morrison are jamming together right now... For those who don't know who he is, he was the keyboardist of The Doors, him, Jim, and Krieger and Densmore... We have lost a legend
