Songtexte Makin' Whoopee - Eddie Walters

Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside lookin′ in
Maybe, that is why I see the funny side
When I see a fallen brother take a bride
Weddings make a lot of people sad
But if you're not the groom, they′re not so bad.
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′,
But he′s so willin'
To make whoopee!
Picture a little love nest,
Down where the roses cling.
Picture that 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, you never guess...
Why she's neglected and he′s suspected,
Of makin′ whoopee!
She sits alone
'Most every night
He never phones
He never writes
He says he′s busy,
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 pay six to her.
He says: "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says: "Bud, right into jail"
Oh, you better keep her, I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee!
