Ella Fitzgerald

Makin Whoopee

verse 1
========================
Another bride, another groom
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
verse 2 (like 1st verse)
========================
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous he answers twice
It's really killing, that he's so willing
For makin' whoopee
verse 3
=======
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
See what a year can bring
verse 4 (like 1st verse)
========================
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
verse 5 (like 1st verse)
========================
Another year, maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
verse 6 (like 1st verse)
========================
She sits alone,
Most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy,
But she says, "Is he?"
He's makin' whoopee
verse 7 (like 3rd verse)
========================
Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her."
verse 8 (like 1st verse)
========================
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail.
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee."
Yeah, you better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Then makin' whoopee
