1. 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!
Oh! Moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have whisky
Oh you know why.

3. (same as 1., change "whisky-bar" to "little dollar", "whisky" to "dollar(s)")
