Music: Kurt Weill
There is no money in this land,
There is no boy to shake with hands.
Oh.
Where is the telephone?
Oh.
Is here no telephone?
O Sir, God damm me, no.
Oh.
Let‘s go, let‘s go to Benares,
to Benares, where the sun is shining.
Let‘s go, let‘s go to Benares,
to Benares, Johnny let us go.
There is not much fun on this star.
There is no door that is ajar.
Oh.
Where is the telephone?
Oh.
Is here no telephone?
Oh Sir, God damm me, no.
Oh.
Worst of all,
Benares is said to have been perished
by an earthquake,
Oh my good Benares,
Oh where shall we go?
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go?
