Makin' Whoopee Lyrics

Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside lookin' in
Maybe, that is why I see the funny side
When I see somebody's brother take a bride

Weddings make a lot of people sad
But if you're not the groom, they're not so bad

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 that same sweet love nest
Think, what a year can bring

He's washing 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

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 sits alone 'most every night
He doesn't phone, he's 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 hundred thousand per,
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, you pay six to her

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge says, "Bud, right into jail"
You better keep her, You'll found it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
