| Lyrics: | Another bride, another June Another sunny honeymoon Another season, another reason For makin' whoopee A lot of shoes, a lot of rice The groom is nervous, he answers twice It's really killin' that he's so willin' To make whoopee Picture a little love nest Down where the roses cling Picture the same sweet love nest And think what a year can bring He's washin' dishes and baby clothes He's so ambitious, he even sews But don't forget folks, that's what you get folks For makin' whoopee (GUITAR SOLO) Another year, or maybe less What's this I hear, well can't you guess She feels neglected, and he's suspected of making whoopee She sits alone most every night He doesn't phone, he doesn't write He says he's busy, and she says, is he? He's making whoopee He doesn't make much money Only five thousand per And some judge who thinks he's funny Says you pay six to her Now he says judge, suppose I fail? The judge says, buddy, right into jail You better keep her, I think it's cheaper Than makin whoopee |
