Lyrics
Another bride, another groom
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season and that's the 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'
For makin' whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses swing
Picture that same sweet love nest
Think what the years can bring
He's washing dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious, he even sews
So don't forget, folks, that's what you get, folks
For makin' whoopee
Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
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
He doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay six to her"
Now he says, "Judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge says, "Bud, you're right into jail
You better keep her"
"Yeah, I think it's cheaper"
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee
And makin' whoopee
Yeah, makin' whoopee
Makin' whoopee
