Makin' Whoopee!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Its really killin'
That he's so willin' to make whoopee
Now picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring, yes
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another year, maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
Yeah, she sits alone
Most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy
But she says: Is he?
He's makin' whoopee
Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says: You'll pay six to her
He says: Now judge, suppose I fail?
Judge say: Budge. Right into jail
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
Yes, yeah, you better keep her
Daddy, I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
