Makin’ Whoopee Lyrics By Ray Charles

    verse
    another bride another june
    another sunny honeymoon
    another season another reason
    to make whoopee
    a lot of shoes a lot of rice
    the groom is nervous uhh he answers twice
    its really killing the boy’s so willing
    to make whoopee whoopee
    picture a little love nest yeah
    down where the roses cling
    picture that same sweet love nest
    see what a year can bring
    i tell you the boy’s washing dishes and baby clothes
    he’s so ambitious ooh i tell you he sews
    its really killing the boy’s so willing
    to make whoopee whoopee
    another year maybe less
    what’s this i hear well can’t you guess
    shee feels neglected and he’s suspected
    of making whoopee
    she sits alone most every night
    he doesn’t phone he doesn’t write
    he says he’s busy and she says is he
    he’s making whoopee
    you see i don’t make much money
    only five uhuh thousand per
    and some judge who thinks he’s funny
    tells me i got to pay six to her
    i said now judge suppose i fail
    the judge says ray son son right on into jail
    ah you better keep her i think it’s cheaper

    spoken you know what i’ve been doing don’t you
