A 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
=======

Cb               Gm
Picture a little love nest
Bbm                  F
Down where the roses cling
Cb                     Gm
Picture the same sweet love nest
Bbm                 F
See what a year can bring

verse 4 (like 1st verse)
========================

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."

      F
Yeah, you better keep her
             C#7     C7
I think it's cheaper
            F          C7
Then makin' whoopee
