Makin’ Whoopee!

(Verse)
Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside looking in
Maybe that is why I see the funny side
When I see a fallen brother take a bride
Weddings make a lot of people sad
But if you're not the groom they're not so bad

(Chorus 1)
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 killing
That he's so willing
To make whoopee

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 clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget, folks
That's what you get, folks
For makin' whoopee

(Chorus 2)
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 her, 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'll pay six to her."

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says "Budge right into jail."
You'd better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
