Lyrics Makin' Whoopee - Ella Fitzgerald
Every
time
I
hear
that
marchin'
Lohengrin
I
am
always
on
the
outside
lookin'
in
Maybe
that
is
why
I
see
the
funny
side
When
I
see
somebody's
brother
take
a
bride
Weddings
make
a
lot
of
people
sad
But
if
you're
not
the
one,
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'
That
he's
so
willin'
to
make
whoopee
Picture
a
little
love
nest
Down
where
the
roses
cling
Picture
the
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'
whoopee
Another
year,
or
maybe
less
What's
this
I
hear?
Well,
can't
you
guess?
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
But
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
says,
"Budge,
right
into
jail
You'd
better
keep
her
I
think
it's
cheaper
than
makin'
W-H-double-O-P-double-E
whoopee"
