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
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? Well can't you guess?
She fells 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 say's "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 better keep her I think it's cheaper
Then makin' whoopee
You better keep her
I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee
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 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? Well can't you guess? She fells 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 say's "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 better keep her I think it's cheaper Then makin' whoopee You better keep her I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee Explain Request ×
