Every time I hear that marchin' Lohengrin I am always all 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, yes
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
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
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'
