Ella Fitzgerald Makin` Whoopee Lyrics

Makin` Whoopee Lyrics

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, yes

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

Another year, maybe less
What`s this I hear?  Well, can`t you guess?
She feels neglected, and he`s suspected
Of makin` whoopee

Yeah, 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

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."

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."

Yes, yeah, you better keep her
Daddy, I think it`s cheaper
Then makin` whoopee
