Makin' Whoopee! 1928

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Jul 2002

Ev'ry time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside looking in
Maybe that is why I see the funny side
when I see a fallen brother
take a bride.
Weddings make a lot of people sad,
but if you're not the groom
they're not so bad...

Another bride, another June,
Another sunny honeymoon,
another season, another reason
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 lovenest,
down where the roses cling,
Picture the same sweet lovenest,
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!
