Makin' Whoopee

 

 

Dr. John & Rickie Lee Jones

 

Another bride Another June

Another sunny honey moon

another season, another reason

for makin' whoopie

 

Alot of shoes, alot of rice

the groom is nervous. he answers twice

its really Killin’ that 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 cloths

He's so ambitious he even sows

but don't forget folks thats 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 say's "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 better keep her I think it's cheeper

then makin’ whoopee

 

you better keep her

I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee
