Well, show me the way
To the next compile-er
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way
To the next compile-er
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next compile-er
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 compiler, oh, you know why

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have compiler, oh, you know why

Well, show me the way
To the next little compiler
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

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

For if we don't find
The next little compiler
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 compiler, oh, you know why
