"Makin' Whoopee" by Gus Kahn & Walter Donaldson

Another [C]bride, [Am7] another [Dm7]June [G7]
Another [C]sunny [C7] honey[F]moon [Fm]
Another [C]season, [Am7] another [Dm7]reason [G7]
For makin' [C]whoopee [Cdim][Dm7] [G7]

You get some [C]shoes, [Am7] a little [Dm7]rice [G7]
The groom's so [C]nervous [C7] he answers [F]twice [Fm]
It's really [C]thrillin' [Am7] that he's so [Dm7]willin' [G7]
For makin' [C]whoopee [F] [Fm7] [C]

[C7]Picture a little [Dm]love nest
[Dm7]Down where the roses [C]cling
[C7]Picture that same [Dm]love nest
And [Dm7]see what a year will [G7]bring

He's doin' [C]dishes [Am7] and baby [Dm7]clothes [G7]
He's so ambi[C]tious, [C7] he even [F]sews [Fm]
Just don't for[C]get, folks, [Am7] that's what you [Dm7]get, folks, [G7]
For makin' [C]whoopee [Cdim][Dm7] [G7]

Another [C]year [Am7] or maybe [Dm7]less [G7]
What's this I [C]hear? [C7] Well, can't you [F]guess? [Fm]
She feels neglected and he's suspected [G7]
Of makin' [C]whoopee [Cdim][Dm7] [G7]

She sits a[C]lone [Am7] 'most every [Dm7]night [G7]
He doesn't [C]phone her, [C7] he doesn't [F]write [Fm]
He says he's [C]"busy" [Am7] but she says [Dm7] "is he?" [G7]
He's makin' [C]whoopee [F] [Fm7] [C]

[C7]He doesn't make much [Dm]money
[Dm7]Only a five-thousand [C]per
[C7]Some judge who thinks he's [Dm]funny
[Dm7]Told him he got to pay six to [G7]her

He says: "Now [C] judge, [Am7] suppose I [Dm7]fail." [G7]
The judge says: "[C] Budge [C7] right into [F]jail! [Fm]
You'd better [C]keep her [Am7] I think it's [Dm7]cheaper [G7]
Than makin' [C]whoopee [F] [Fm7] [C]
