2. Makin' Whoopee

Lyrics: Gus Kahn
Music: Walter Donaldson

Guitar and vocal: Mike Agranoff

Intro:
Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside, looking 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 when you're not the groom...it's not so bad.

1
Another bride, another June, another sunney honeymoon.
Another season, another reason for makin' whoopee

2
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice, the groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killing that she's so willing to make whoopee.

Bridge 1
Picture a little love nest out where the roses cling [not "bloom"]
Picture that same sweet love nest, think what a year can bring.

3 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 making whoopee.

Instrumental Break

4
Another year or maybe less: what's this I hear? Well can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected of making whoopee.

5
She sits at home most every night. He doesn't phone. He doesn't write.
He says he's busy. And she says, "Is he?" He's making whoopee.!

bridge 2
He doesn't make much money. Only five thousand per.
Some judge who thinks he's funny says "You'll pay six to her!"

6
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 making whoopee."
