verse 1


        FF              C7C7
Another bride, another June
        FF    F7F7     BbBb   BbmBbm
Another sunny  honeymoon
        FF               C#7C#7    C7C7
Another season, another reason
           FF        C7C7
For makin' whoopee

verse 2 (like 1st verse)


AA lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Ain't it thrillin'
That he's so willin' for makin' whoopee

verse 3


CbCb               GmGm
Picture a little love nest
BbmBbm                  FF
Down where the roses cling
CbCb                     GmGm
Picture the same sweet love nest
BbmBbm                 FF
See what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

verse 5 (like 1st verse)


Another year, maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee

verse 6 (like 1st verse)


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

verse 7 (like 3rd verse)


Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her."

verse 8 (like 1st verse)


He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail.
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee."

      FF
Yeah, you better keep her
             C#7C#7     C7C7
I think it's cheaper
            FF          C7C7
Then makin' whoopee
