Another bride
Another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season
Another reason
For makin' whoopie
A lot of shoes
A bag of rice
The groom is nervous
He answers twice
It's really killin'
That he's so willin'
To make whoopie
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture that same sweet love nest
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
That's what you get folks
For makin' whoopie
Another year
Or maybe less
What's this I hear?
Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected
And he's suspected
Of makin' whoopie
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' whoopie
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?
He says, Son, right into jail.
You'd better keep her,
I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopie
It's cheaper
You better keep her
Than makin' whoopie
He says, now judge
Suppose I fail?
He says, Son, right into jail.
You'd better keep her,
I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopie
You'd better keep her,
I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopie
