makin whoopee

Marlene Dietrich

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
Its really killin that he s so willin
To make whoopee

Now 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
Thats what you get, folks, for makin whoopee

Another year or maybe less
What s this I hear? Well, you can t confess
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, buut 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 say, Budge right into jail
You d better keep her, I think it s cheaper
Than makin whoopee
You d better keep her, I think it s cheaper
Than makin whoopee
