Ev'ry time I hear that march from Lohengrin,

The choir sings, "Here Comes The Bride"

Another victim is by her side

He's lost his reason 'cause it's the season

for Makin' Whoopee

Down through the countless ages

You'll find it everywhere

Somebody makes good wages:

Somebody wants her share.

She calls him "Toodles" and rolls her eyes

She makes him strudels and bakes him pies

What is it all for? It's so he'll fall for

Makin' Whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice

The groom is nervous, he answers twice

It's really killing that he's so willing

To make whoopee!

Picture a little love-nest,

Down where the roses cling,

Picture the same sweet love-nest,

Think what a year can bring.

He's washing 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!

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, or even write,

He says he's "busy", but she says "is he?"

He's Makin' Whoopee!

He doesn't make much money

Five thousand dollars, per

Some judge, who thinks he's funny

Says, "You pay six to her".

He says: "Now judge, suppose I fail?"

The judge says, "Budge, right into jail!

You'd better keep her, you'll find it's cheaper

Than Makin' Whoopee!"
