MAKIN' WHOOPEE (+E)

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,

Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee


Another year or maybe less

What's this I hear? Oh, can't you guess

She feels neglected

And he's suspected of makin' whoopee


She feels so lone most everynight

He doesn't phone or even write

He says he's busy

But she says: "Is he? He's makin' whoopee"


He doesn't make much money

Only 500 hundred thousand per

Some judge may think he's funny

Say: "You pay six to her"


And he says: "Judge, what if I fail?"

The judge says: "Bud, right in the jail,

You'd better keep her

I think it's cheaper than makin' whoopee"


Well: don't forget, folks

That's what you get, folks

On makin' whoopee
