Louis Armstrong
Makin’ Whoopee

[Verse 1]
Another bride, another june
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

[Verse 2]
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin'
To make whoopee

[Bridge 1]
Now picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring, yes

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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!
[Verse 5]
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!

[Bridge 2]
Now, he doesn't make much money
Only a five-thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says "you'll pay six to her"

[Verse 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 Makin' Whoopee!!"

Yes, yeah, you'd better keep her, daddy, I think it's cheaper
Than Makin' Whoopee!!"
