Lyrics
Makin Whoopie
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 honey moon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopie
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's so killin' that he's so willin'
To make whoopie
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washing dishes and baby cloths
He's so ambitious, he even sows
But don't forget folks, that's what you get folks
For makin' whoopie
Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear? Well you can't you guess
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopie
Yeah, she sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone her, he doesn't write
He says he's busy, but she say's: Is he?
He's makin' whoopie
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
The judge says: Budge right into jail
You better keep her I think it's cheeper
Then makin' whoopie
You better keep her
I know it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopie
