Kurt Weill

Kurt Julian Weill (March 2, 1900 – April 3, 1950) was a German composer, active from the 1920s, and in his later years in the United States. He was a leading composer for the stage who was best known for his fruitful collaborations with Bertolt Brecht. With Brecht, he developed productions such as his most well known work The Threepenny Opera, a Marxist critique of capitalism, which included the ballad "Mack the Knife". Weill was a socialist[unreliable source?] who held the ideal of writing music that served a socially useful purpose. He also wrote a number of works for the concert hall, as well as several Judaism-themed pieces. more »

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

The next whisky bar

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 

Show me the way 
To the next little girl 
Oh, don't ask why

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
