1. Another bride, another June, another sunny honeymoon,

E - A D - G C - Am - Dm - G

another season, another reason for makin’ whoopie.

C - A F - G

2. A lot of shoes, a lot of rice,

C - C7 F - Dm

the groom is nervous, he answers twice,

E - A D - G C - F - C - G

it’s really killing, that he’s so willing, to makin’ whoopie.

Bbm Dm - E Am

Now picture a little lovenest down where the roses cling,

Bbm Dm - E Am G

picture the same sweet lovenest, think what a year can bring, yes !

3. He’s washing dishes and maybe clothes,

C - C7 F - Dm

he’s so ambitious, he even sews.

neglected and he’s suspected of makin’ whoopie. Yeah!

C - C7 F Dm

he doesn’t phone, he doesn’t write, he says

E - A D - G C - F - C - G

he’s busy, but she says, “Busy? He’s makin’ whoopie.”

Bbm Dm E Am

Now he doesn’t make much money, only five thousand buck,

Bbm Dm E Am - G

some judge, who thinks he’s funny, says. “You pay six to her!”

C - A F - G

6. He says, “Now Judge, suppose I fail ?”

C - C7 F Dm

Judge says, “Budge right into jail ! You better

E - A D - G C - Am - A - A7

keep her, I think it’s cheaper than makin’ whoopie, yes.

D G - G7
